Van Duzer Estate Pinot Gris (75cl, 12.7%)

Van Duzer Estate Pinot Gris is a 100% Pinot Gris from Oregon's Willamette Valley, bottled at 12.7% ABV. The 2022 vintage earned 92 points from Wine Enthusiast. Van Duzer Vineyards was established in 1998 in the Van Duzer Corridor, where marine winds create a cooler microclimate. The grapes are whole cluster pressed, then fermented in stainless steel with no malolactic fermentation. Four distinct harvest picks contribute complexity and acidity. The aroma shows ripe pear, white peach, honeysuckle, cut grass, toasted marshmallow and apricot. The palate brings lemon zest, Asian pear, melon, green apple and nectarine. The finish is brisk with citrus, chrysanthemum tea and a mineral quality.
