Winery Review: From grapes grown at the highest elevation on our estate. Morning fog followed by sun and afternoon shade make this an ideal location for growing this varietal. The grapes ripen slowly allowing them to develop balance between rich texture and heady aromas. The wine is stainless steel fermented and bottled young to preserve the crisp acidity and refreshing fruit flavors. Tasting Notes: This well balanced Pinot Grigio tastes of mangos and passion fruit with hints of citrus. It is wine is crisp, refreshing and ideal for a summer picnic or as an aperitif. Wonderful when paired with Oysters on the half-shell.
My Review: Pinot Grigio's are one of my favorite types of wines, so I was very excited about trying this wine. This has a very fruity smell. The taste is very light taste. It is very fruity, it has a tropical flavor. I can really taste the grapefruity and mango. Overall, I have to say that this is one of my favorites.
