Three Feathers Pinot Gris 2022 | Willamette Valley Oregon
Pinot Gris Vineyard and Tasting Notes
Three Feathers Pinot Gris 2022, our third vintage, concluded a short and cool growing season. Yields were high and the maturity was perfect to produce a dry, medium-bodied wine with a fresh, minerality reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc. Planted in 2014, these vines have been pushing roots into the fine iron-rich Laurelwood soil for six years.
Picked at its peak and pressed right out of the field, our 2022 Pinot Gris was then aged in stainless steel to preserve and express fruit flavors and a light juicy acidity. Crisp and light, this medium-bodied Pinot Gris displays characteristic bright floral flavors with notes of citrus and green apple. Enjoy this wine on its own or with poultry, seafood, pasta or vegetarian dishes.
