WINEMAKING NOTES
This Pinot Gris was sourced exclusively from our Home Farm Vineyard located at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Seventh Street in the Creek Shores sub-appellation. Harvest was in mid-September. Following harvest, the grapes were crushed and destemmed before gentle pressing. The grapes were then fermented and aged in seasoned French oak barrels of varying sizes (228L, 400L and 500L) as well as newer acacia barrels for 12 months to preserve the fruity flavor’s After light fining and filtration, the wine was bottled in February 2023
