We are getting ready to bottle our Start Your Own Winery Pinot Gris. One of our Start Your Own Winery club members produced some last year and it turned out to be a very nice wine, so they wanted to produce it again this year. Since Pinot Gris is produced as a white wine and doesn’t go through malo-lactic fermentation we’ll need to filter it before it goes into bottle so that we don’t end up with a secondary fermentation in bottle. It is a very dry wine with about 13% alcohol with an aromatic profile of citrus, melons and pears with a nice under toned minerality that reminds me of wet stones. On the palate it is dry and crisp with a long mouth watering finish. Stylistically more aligned with northern Italian Pinot Grigio than Alsatian Pinot Gris.
