TASTE WITH THE WINEMAKER
“We fermented our Hess Select Pinot Gris in stainless steel in order to accentuate the beautiful tropical fruit characteristics of the wine and retain freshness. It undergoes some lees stirring to highlight the naturally crisp stone fruit flavors. On the nose, ripe pear and nectarine aromas lead to a round entry of tropical and white peach flavors, along with citrus. This wine is balanced on the palate and easy to enjoy with the perfect hint of acidity and lemon zest on its bright finish. I find our Pinot Gris tastes best served among great friends and good food. Pair this fruit-forward, versatile wine with your favorite grilled chicken or grilled vegetable dish, or simply enjoy it alongside fresh shellfish with a squeeze of lemon.”
