Where

Grown organically in the Sloughhouse region of Lodi, a region known for rich red wines. The winemaking tradition in Sloughhouse dates back to the 1850s, when Italian immigrants first began planting vineyards in the area. This however, is not your grandmothers Pinot Grigo. Harvested early yet nearly entirely purple we couldn't help but give this wine a little maceration.

Method

Fermented on its skins for 36 hours before pressing and finishing in stainless steel. Aged briefly in neutral french oak and bottled young for maxim tropical goodness.

Enjoy

Pinot Grigio has a textured mouthfeel with flavors of under ripe peach, nectarine, and pinapple. There is also a slight nuttiness and a touch of honey, as well as a subtle mineral character that adds depth and complexity. The tannins from the skin contact give the wine a slight grip and structure, and the acidity is bright and refreshing. This Pinot Grigio is a rockstar food wine equally at home with a runny ipe cheese as it is with lemony grilled fish or chicken.
