BOUCHAINE VINEYARDS ESTATE VIN GRIS CARNEROS NAPA VALLEY 2021 750 mL

Details

Vinification
Vin Gris is a French term for a pale pink wine made from Pinot Noir grapes.
Our Vin Gris is 85% whole cluster pressed and 15% saignee. We harvested
clusters at low sugars and put them directly in a press, just like we would
; with our Chardonnay. We then fermented the juice in tank to preserve
the freshness and aromatics. The saignee portion of the blend was ‘bled’
from tank (saignee is a French term meaning ‘to bleed’) on the second
day after crushing Pinot N oir grapes. This concentrates the juice on the
skins for our lush Pinot Noir and gives us a bit of light, lively juice to use
for our VinGris. This wine sees no oak contact, the vivid aromatics are
preserved for your sipping pleasure!
Tasting Notes
Thenose draws you in with fresh picked strawberry, juicy watermelon
and guava, while the palate displays layers of white nectarine, cantaloupe
and more melon. This fun and vibrant wine grabs your palate and does
not let go. It screams for warm days on the deck and time with friends.
Goes with everything from oysters to pate–enjoy!
