North Slope Pinot Gris

North Slope Pinot Gris

Mature vines on the coolest site on the Chalk Hill Estate give us the intensely flavored fruit for our North Slope Pinot Gris. The grapes are picked at their optimal ripeness and are handled with great care during the winemaking process. Two classic Alsatian clones provide distinctly different flavor and textural components to the blend. Barrel fermentation and aging in neutral French oak enhance the wine’s complexity.

Tasting Notes
Elegant aromas of blossoming white flowers, lemon peel and ripe pear are vibrant in our 2021 Pinot Gris. The palate offers refreshing flavors of Meyer lemon and a touch of honey, leading to a lovely crisp finish with balanced acidity. Great on a warm summer day as an apéritif or paired with fresh seafood and vegetables.
