Tasting Note:
The 2008 Pinot Gris has an enticing aroma of Granny Smith apples and pears leading into a crisp bright mouthful with a hint of sweetness. Though rich with fruit and texture, the palate is both clean and uncomplicated.
Food Match:
This wine is very versatile. It suits those who like to have a glass with nibbles or lunch, and it is an admirable accompaniment to Asian foods, chicken and seafood.
Viticulture and Winemaking:
Bald Hills makes its Pinot Gris very simply to preserve the natural vibrancy of the “Pigeon Rocks” block fruit. The grapes are gently pressed and undergo a long cool fermentation period. The 2008 has also acquired texture from two months lees contact prior to bottling.
