2023 Pinot Gris
This is a fun wine to make! Our take on an orange wine, but we take it seriously. The fruit is picked based on potential alcohol, color, acidity, and flavors. A fresh, complex, unique wine that is easy to enjoy. Loads of peach and watermelon flavors with a beautiful richness from the skin contact.

A great example of why Pinot Gris does better on its skins. A darker pink-orange in the glass, this bottling begins with aromas of crushed plum, dusty earth and rosewater. The palate sizzles with acidity and benefits from a chalky texture, as bright flavors of raspberry and orange peel make for a fun sip. — Matt Kettmann
