2020 Organic Pinot Gris

Organic, Vegan & Gluten-Free
“It's been a few years since we've tasted the straight-up pinot gris from Sperling. In the last few years, it's been diverted into the striking, skin-contact Amber Pinot Gris (thankfully still released this year). This organic and biodynamic certified gris comes from higher altitude estate blocks, was fermented and aged briefly in stainless with no MLF. Crisp green apple, Asian pear, lemon pith, and soapy pear blossom on the tight, snappy palate, finishing clinically clean and straight. For those who like their gris squeaky clean and fresh. Drink this summer.” 88pts

Pinot Gris – this variety makes up 30% of our planting totaling 12.7 acres in blocks planted in three soil and climate zones. Currently for estate production (as some grapes are sold), we select from the highest altitude block. Grapes are harvested cool by hand then destemmed and skin soaked for 2-4 hours, then pressed. Slightly settled juice is fermented in stainless steel with non-aromatic yeast to dryness. No malolactic fermentation. Minerality is the hallmark, with mid-palate weight increasing with time in the bottle.
