A well-balanced, dry white wine with intriguing scents of green
apples, pear and honeydew melon. This lighter-bodied wine has
a bright crisp, mineral finish.
This clean and crisp Pinot Grigio is best served chilled. It pairs well
with light flavored foods such as mild cheeses, fresh fruit, grilled
chicken and pasta dishes, like pesto and risotto. A wonderful wine
for summer-time gatherings.
This Italian grape is a lighter mutation of Pinot Noir. It gets its
name “Grigio” (which means grey in Italian) from the color of
its grapes. The Clarksburg appellation is ideal for producing
it, mainly due to its climate and rich sandy, clay soils. Our
vineyards enjoy hot, summer days from the Sacramento Valley,
which allow the intense aroma of the fruit to develop. But they
are also exposed to the cool maritime breezes from the bay in
the evenings giving the grapes a fresh acidity. We take special
care in all aspects of our grape growing from deficit irrigation,
to precise pruning techniques, to handpicking at harvest.
Grapes were hand picked in the morning and gently pressed.
Juice was cold settled and fermented cold in stainless steel
tanks. The wine was allowed to sit on light lees for several
months before racking. The wine was then finished for
bottling, never seeing any oak or malo-lactic.
