Teutonic Pinot Gris, Crow Valley Vineyard, Willamette Valley, Oregon 2022
Mineral-driven Pinot Gris from Alsace-obsessed winemaker Barnaby Tuttle in Oregon's Willamette Valley. "This is Pinot Gris as it should be - bone dry, textural, and singing with minerality. Aromas of white peach, wet stone, and honeysuckle lead to a palate that's both rich and precise. The Crow Valley site brings serious structure here, with a saline finish that keeps you coming back for more. This is what happens when Oregon terroir meets Alsatian winemaking philosophy." — Harvest Wine Shop.Varieties: 100% Pinot GrisRegion: Crow Valley Vineyard, Willamette Valley, OregonVolume: 750mlAlcohol: 12.5% ABVFarming Practice: Sustainable, Dry-FarmedSoil Type: Volcanic Jory and Marine SedimentaryVinification and Ageing: Hand-harvested, whole cluster pressed, wild yeast fermentation in neutral French oak barrels and concrete eggs.
