A to Z Wineworks Pinot Gris 2022

A light golden, straw color in the glass, the 2022 A to Z Wineworks Oregon Pinot Gris greets with vibrant tropical fruit aromas, including pineapple, passionfruit, papaya, and guava, that play with hints of lemon curd, white peach, pear, and apple. The palate is equally fresh and bright, with flavors of passionfruit, lychee, citrus, and quince, along with just-sweet honeycomb and nougat. The abundant fruitiness is balanced by restrained acidity for a round, full-bodied midpalate. The 2022 A to Z Wineworks Oregon Pinot Gris is a delightful, expressive quaff with a long, lovely finish that lingers with faint pear and apricot notes.

The 2022 A to Z Oregon Pinot Gris is a blend made up of fruit from more than 15 different vineyards located across Oregon, from the verdant Willamette Valley, to the high mountain, river valleys of the Rogue and Umpqua AVAs. These different sites together provide a 'full orchestra' of flavors, aromatics & texture. The individual parcels of fruit are harvested separately, pressed gently, fermented in numerous vessels using a variety of yeasts to enhance complexity and aged on light lees until bottling. Malolactic fermentation is intentionally blocked to retain freshness.
