Coeur de Terre Pinot Gris comes from a variety of vineyards located in the Willamette Valley. We look for vineyards that are sustainably farmed. We privilege sites on the cooler side to maintain vibrancy and acidity in the wine and look for vines that are older in age.
The vineyards represented in this 2017 bottling are King Vineyards and Washers Vineyard. All of these sites are based on sedimentary soils.
Tasting Notes: Between racy acidity and depth of fruit that dances on the palate, this Pinot Gris hits the mark with hints of grafruit rind, peach pit, honeydew melon and orange blossom on the nose. The initial attack on the palate shows its playfulness, with hints of clementine, peach flesh and passport melon. This wine will be great out on the deck on a hot summer day, with a simple summer salad, or paired with a lemon infused roasted chicken.
