Antiquum Farm Pinot Gris Aurosa Willamette Valley 2022 750 ML

Aurosa is a lighter, airier style of Pinot Gris with partial skin contact although it drinks more like a classic white. It's ethereal and contemplative, with some lavender and gentle citrus backed by a stony minerality that frames the whole experience. It undergoes a long ferment which adds texture and complexity, reminiscent of white tea with subtle but engaging tannins. It's a beautiful contrast to the Alium Pinot Gris, which shows more depth and color but equally as engaging.
