2013 Jekyll Island Reserve Pinot Grigio, Lodi 750ml 6-Pack

The 2013 Pinot Grigio is a light straw colored hue with aromas of fresh cut celery and pears. The palate is subtly enriched by mineral characteristics, complimented by notes of white peach, pear and light citrus. This crisp Pinot Grigio is an excellent pairing with a petrale sole served with a cucumber cream sauce, Chinese chicken salad with sliced pear, or roasted chicken lasagna with a lemon Béchamel sauce.

The grapes from fourth generation vineyards benefit from the deep and rich soils that make-up the western edge of the Lodi Appellation. The fruit thrives in the warm sunny days and cool nights as a result of gentle breezes coming from the San Francisco Bay and the Delta waterways. This allows it to mature and have a proper balance between fruit character and structure.  The Pinot Grigio was harvested at optimal ripeness, was pressed, and fermented in stainless steel vessels.  The wine is 100% stainless steel fermented giving it the crisp and refreshing texture. Temperatures are monitored, not to exceed 56°F to produce a slower, cooler fermentation that traps flavors and aromas. The wine has produced a crisp fruity style wine that is sure to please your palate.
