When grapes remain on the vine late into the harvest season, they become sweeter and more concentrated. Our Late Harvest Pinot Gris is made from grapes that are allowed to remain on the vine until they begin to shrivel and form raisins. These grapes are then used to make a wine that contains both higher residual sugar and a more concentrated and complex flavor profile. We harvest these special grapes as our very last pick of the season, and bring them to the winery where, after gentle pressing, we allow the juice to cold settle overnight. The next day we rack the juice off heavy lees and ferment in small stainless-steel tanks. Sur lie aging with battonage (lees stirring) once a week in tank creates additional body, texture and viscosity in the wine. This wine was aged four months, lightly fined and filtered before bottling for maximum freshness and brilliant clarity.
