2008 Estate Pinot Gris

2008 Estate Pinot Gris

Long on rich fruit and crisp refreshment

Ounce for ounce, you won’t find a more refreshing, compelling expression of crisp, fresh fruit. Aged in stainless steel, tasters will be reminded of juicy pineapple, pear and melon with a flinty edge. Lemongrass and apricot emerge with a taste that ends rich and round.

Estate Pinot Gris Wine Information

Pinot Gris is Oregon’s emphatic answer to Pinot Grigio. In our Willamette Valley climate, the Pinot Gris grape develops weight and richness and full fruit flavors. Van Duzer’s Pinot Gris grows on five acres planted to Pinot Gris clones 146 and 152. Together, the grape clones produced a fully mature fruit redolent of pineapple and peach. A flinty edge to the fruit, a common thread across Van Duzer vintages.
