We only grow a tiny amount of Pinot Gris on the estate. The limited amount of fruit often tempts us into playfulness. One year we let the grapes freeze on the vine for a true Ice Wine. On 2015, the beautiful season provided perfect balance in ripeness and acidity. We chose to barrel ferment the wine in neutral French oak- a technique enhancing the mouthfeel and texture, while still leaving delightful tones of green apple, melon and pear. Elegant and dry, the wine pairs beautifully with Pacific Northwest seafood. Cheers!
