The Joel Gott 2021 Oregon Pinot Gris has aromas of honeydew melon and lime with notes of pear and peach blossoms. On the palate, the wine opens with bright acidity and citrus notes followed by a smooth, elongated mid-palate with tropical fruit flavours and a long, clean balanced finish. Following harvest, the fruit was hand sorted and gently pressed to retain their delicate aromatics. A long, cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks preserves the varietal characteristics of the fruit.
We hand select fruit from Oregon's Willamette Valley, where the cool climate is ideal for growing flavourful Pinot Gris grape. This wine showcases some of the AVAs most prized sub-appellations, including Dundee Hills and Eola-Amity Hills. A diverse range of microclimates and soil types across varied vineyard sites creates a well-rounded, balanced and fruit-forward Pinot Gris. ** Gold Medal Drinks Business Pinot Grigio Masters 2023**
