Our Skin Fermented Pinot Gris 2021 is created with great care. Three daily punchdowns across fifteen days resulted in a copper-colored wine aged 30 months in neutral French oak. Aromas and flavors of caramel, orange peel, dried blueberries, and cranberries finish with tea-like tannins. Consider pairing with mixed nuts, mushroom risotto, or roast pork.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Winter 2021 was generally mild, with occasional snow and cold patches, but no winter injury was reported. The spring was slightly warmer than in recent years, especially in April; however, we did not see an early bud break nor the resulting damage of a late spring frost. Summer rainfall was frequent but so were the dry spells. Unfortunately, the wet and humid stretches didn't let up in the fall nor did we see lower nighttime temperatures. Consequently, we experienced increased disease pressure and lower sugars. Although we had to work twice as hard this year, the early intervention in the vineyards and additional work hand-sorting and culling on the crush pad has yielded yet another unforgettable vintage!

Other Notes
Skin-contact wines are white wines made like red wines. They ferment with the grape skins, which give wine its color, hence the term "orange wine."
