WINEMAKER NOTES Straw in color, our 2022 Pinot Gris has fragrant aromatics of pear, honeysuckle, orange blossom hone, and white stone fruit. The wine has enhanced mouthfeel and weight but with bright acidity that carries flavors to a lingering finish of pear, lemon zest and pith. ABOUT THIS VINTAGE The 2022 vintage was an interesting Oregon vintage that ranged widely from a cold frost in mid April to a warm finish in October. The early frost had varying effects on bud break dependent on variety and location. There was plenty of precipitation and very cool temperatures, but good bloom conditions and generous fruit set. We ultimately finished with good amounts of fruit, but small clusters and berries that ripened quickly in the unexpectedly warm fall temperatures in September and October. This unusual combination led to good flavors, despite the delayed start, and the quickest picking window in the last five years. ABOUT THIS WINE Our 2022 Pinot Gris was harvested in early morning cool temperatures in early to late October and whole cluster pressed into tanks. After cold settling fo one day, the juice was racked off solids and fermented in stainless steel to capture the fresh fruit character.
