TASTING NOTE
Pinot Gris 2013
white wine
This wine has had one week of skin contact, which gives it a different character than regular pinot gris wines. It is more exciting, more complex and shows a different aroma palate. We smell melon, fresh sauerkraut, asparagus, flint and wet pebbles. The wine has flavors of lemon, apple, pear, gooseberry, flint, a pinch of white pepper, basil, and a hint of bitterness. A very interesting wine!
