Community Tasting Notes 1

  July 8, 2019 - Try getting your hands on this. Ha! Miniscule quantities of this incredibly tasty wine are produced every year and sell out like hotcakes. Could be a result of an older and younger generation teaming up and allowing each other to create without restrictions. This is truly “the real deal”. Made from 100% Pinot Gris with partial whole-bunch fermentation and 38 days on skins. Bottled proudly in a clear vessel.
  
  Unique, Sauternes-like smell going towards aromas of honey, apricot, tomato leaf, yellow apple and sweet corn. Heavy, but it’s a good weight – something you would associate comfortably with big Grigios from Gorizia. A firm rope of tannins, ginger spice, dried mixed peel characters and a salty, drying finish. If the acidity was a tad higher, we would have us a top-list candidate.
