Pinot Gris is really a pink grape, and can impart tannins that interfere with its graceful, oily palate impression and suppress aromatics in youth. To prevent this, tannins were removed at the juice stage by hyper-oxygenative browning and flotation, resulting in a silky mouthfeel and alluring bouquet. Fifty percent of the juice was fermented in neutral French oak barrels to enhance palate weight; the other fifty percent in small stainless steel barrels to preserve its freshness character.
