The tiny 1.4 acre block of Pinot Gris is tucked in the back of this picturesque side canyon off Orcutt Rd. It is an Alsatian clone, 152, planted on 420A rootstock. The site is relatively humid as indicated by the surrounding Sycamore trees which thrive in moist soils. These conditions lead to a slow and cool ripening that works well with white wine. There was no disease pressure in 2008 and the fruit was picked in pristine condition. Winemaking & Cellar Information When making an early release fresh style of white wine the pressing of the grapes is the most important step. This is doubly true of Pinot Gris, because what the fruit lacks in color it more than makes up for in high tannin. It is critical with this varietal not to press too hard, or to extract too many gallons from each ton. If you are not careful, you will produce a wine with a high degree of bitterness. We ferment this wine in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to create as much fruit aroma as possible. We then age it in tank for 3-4 months before bottling. Our goal is to produce a wine with a vibrant aroma coupled to a rich low acid flavor. Analytical Information Alcohol:14.2% T.A.:4.6 g/L pH:3.57 Brix at Harvest 24.3 Tasting Notes The color is appropriately pale, and almost silvery white. The aromas show the typical fruit character that is towards violets. There is an undertone of citrus especially lemon custard. The flavors are sumptuous with a heavy grainy richness that is offset by a bit of white pepper in the finish.
