Hess Select Pinot Gris (75cl, 12.5%)

Hess Select Pinot Gris is a California white wine from The Hess Collection, fermented entirely in stainless steel and bottled at 12.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The Hess Select tier draws fruit from vineyards across California. Periodic lees stirring adds subtle creaminess and weight to the wine. The nose opens with ripe pear and nectarine, followed by lighter floral notes and a hint of tropical pineapple, with a subtle mineral quality. The palate brings juicy white peach and nectarine, layers of citrus and crisp apple, and lemon zest, kept vibrant by balanced acidity. The finish is bright and clean, with lemon zest and lingering nectarine, plus a mineral crispness.
