LIVING ROOTS PINOT GRIS

Pinot Gris with bright aromatics, texture and spice, reminiscent of the Bosc Pear which is also grown locally. The cool climate of the Finger Lakes lends the region well to the rich and expressive style we were aiming for. With a relatively wet vintage, selective picking and hand-sorting ensured clean fruit, with a bit of ‘noble rot’ botrytis contributing to the body and rich flavors into the orange marmalade spectrum.

We stopped the ferment just prior to finishing to preserve yeast esters and to leave a touch of residual sugar to balance the grape’s natural spice.
