Pinot Grigio, 2016 St Joseph Vineyards, Grand River Valley

Estate Pinot Grigio

Wine making:

After hand picking while still cool in the morning the grapes are crushed and pressed immediately to minimize skin contact. After a 24 hour settling, the clear juice is racked into stainless steel tanks then inoculated with yeast. A slow cool fermentation at cool temperatures helps maintain the fruit and clean crisp flavors we try to achieve. The finished wine is racked, finned and filtered to maintain these qualities.
