The influence of barrel on this Pinot Gris leads to a richer and more elegant expression of the grape. Austere but brooding characters of Italian plum, strawberry, peach, apricot and cream mark this broad and eclectic wine. Brioche and an element of spiced, preserved citrus keeps the weighty, persistent palate together.

From Our Sommeliers
“Owner and winemaker, Nicholas Keeler knocks it out of the park with this uber limited (74 cases) production wine. This is pinot grigio/ pinot gris as you've never experienced before. This wine checks every box, made from Biodynamically farmed grapes, showcases the profound skill of the winemaker and is so so so so so drinkable.“ - Elyse Lovenworth

Winemaker Notes
After gentle pressing of whole berries, the Pinot Gris juice is settled for just 24 hours before being racked to neutral French oak barrels for spontaneous fermentation. After fermentation is complete, the wine continues to age in barrel for eight to ten months in order to continue to develop flavor and complexity.
