WINEMAKER NOTES | Ross and Bee Maloof are making beautiful, lively organic wines in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. This Pinot Gris is from a cool site in Temperance Hill consisting of varying slopes and exposures. The vineyard looks straight out over the Van Duzer corridor, the large break in the Oregon coast line, receiving the full effects of the famed afternoon winds that pull in cooler air from the Pacific Ocean, allowing great ripening capabilities in the area. They decided to split the Gris from this special site into two picks – the earlier pick is for acidity in the wine and the later is from more fruit notes. The grapes are direct pressed, fermented and aged in Burgundy oak barrels. Aged on the lees with no stirring for 10 months.
TASTING NOTES | Tropical fruits, spices and citrus with nice acidity. Medium bodied and dry.
PAIRING NOTES | Spicy foods, seafood, and poultry.
