Van Duzer Pinot Gris Estate 750 ML

Displays hints of white peaches and Asian pear supported by floral notes of Jasmine flower contrasting against tropical aromas of mango, pineapple, and citrus notes of key lime and lemon grass. Up front, fresh and crisp character lead to a bright mid palate where an underlying perception of sweetness contrasts mineral notes on the finish finish and an expression of ocean air influences.\n \n Producer Information\n Proprietors Carl and Marilynn Thoma were among the first to choose the foothills at the mouth of the Van Duzer Corridor to create their family estate in 1998, intrigued by the potential of the microclimate and its ability to produce evocative Pinot Noir. Perched atop a knoll surrounded by vines on three sides, the site is situated in the gateway of the Corridor, a deep gap in the Oregon Coastal Range that draws brisk air from the Pacific Ocean into the Willamette Valley. The flagship estate’s 83.7 planted acres are in the direct path of marine winds, and benefit from the cooling gusts that moderate the temperatures over the vineyard, guaranteeing a long, beneficial growing season year after year.
