BW PINOT GRIGIO SCM REGAN VYD HERITAGE 2019

Tasting Notes

Pinot Grigio (Italian) and Pinot Gris (French) are two different styles of wine made from the same grape.  Although this wine is made in the Pinot Gris style, we decided to call it Pinot Grigio in keeping with our Italian heritage.  This wine was fermented in neutral barrels, then aged “sur lie” for 6 months in those barrels.  This barrel aging and a partial malolactic fermentation both add some richness and complexity to this unique wine.  The nose is vibrant with citrusy notes lemon rind, tangerine, and lemongrass.   Flavors of ripe, juicy stone fruits tango with vibrant citrusy notes on the palate.  A backbone of mouthwatering acidity holds the wine together and gives it a lengthy finish.
