2021 Craftwork Pinot Grigio
2021 Craftwork Pinot Grigio
Description
Honoring the best of traditional winemaking, the wines from our estate vineyards are handcrafted to showcase the natural expression of the vineyard, variety and vintage. In a world of flashy technology, some might call this hopelessly old-fashioned. We call it Craftwork.Tasting Notes
Aromas of stone fruit and citrus are followed by a lively blend of pear and tropical fruit. The palate shows a crisp acidity with a fruit-forward finish, making this a versatile wine that pairs particularly well with light side dishes, grilled chicken, prosciutto and melon, or all on its own.
Winemaking
The grapes are whole-cluster pressed, chilled and racked clean to a refrigerated stainless steel tank. Stainless tanks provide a neutral environmnet that serve to accentuate the wine’s crisp, zesty qualities and retain its distinctive freshness.
To grow a high quality, flavorful Pinot Grigio, a cool climate area is a necessity to allow for slow ripening and maintain the grape’s fruit character and natural acidity. We grow Pinot Grigio on our cool climate estate vineyard located just outside of the town of Greenfield. With morning fogs that often linger until mid-day, the intricate fruit flavors have time to develop while preserving crucial acidity. A combination of right location and traditional winemaking allows us to craft a bright, lively style that is brimming with fruit
