(11/2022) Still one of the most visually stunning wines in the store, but this vintage was very different than years past. We've had a few white wines made from red grapes, but rarely have we ever seen a reddish wine made from a white grape! As a genetic variant of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris shares many of the same characteristics and Fossil & Fawn treat it no different than their Pinot Noir's with maceration for 14 days on skins before being pressed into a mix of French and Oregon oak. The wine is aged for 9 months before being racked once and bottled without fining or filtration. The result is stunning with generous notes of red currant, cherry, sandalwood and dried orange peel. Treat it like a white or light red and throw a chill on it!
