Columbia Crest Grand Estates Pinot Gris (75cl, 13%)

A light-bodied white wine from Washington State's Columbia Valley, produced by Columbia Crest and bottled at 13% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is a blend of 95.5% Pinot Gris and 4.5% Pinot Blanc, sourced from vineyard sites across the valley. The small addition of Pinot Blanc adds subtle textural complexity to the Pinot Gris base, and the wine is sealed with a screw cap. The nose opens with lime-citrus, pineapple, ripe peach, melon and grapefruit, with a delicate thread of orange blossom in some vintages. The palate shows vivid peach and pear, tropical fruit, subtle nutty and spicy nuances and crisp acidity. The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus and stone fruit.
