2021 EYRIE VINEYARDS PINOT GRIS “THE EYRIE” Dundee Hills

The Eyrie, Sisters, Rolling Green, Daphne, and Tukwilla Vineyards Orientation: South and South-Southeast. Soil: Jory and Woodburn. Vines are nonirrigated, own-rooted, Guyot-trained, on 10’ x 6’ spacing. We use no herbicides, systemic chemicals or insecticides. Vineyards floors are maintained with a native cover and no tillage. Hand harvest-ed. The grapes are destemmed and undergo a long (4 hour) cycle in a basket press to dejuice. The wine is allowed to follow natural fermentation curves in small stainless tanks. Aged in small stainless steel tank and some neutral French oak. “Truly an innovator, Eyrie Pinot Gris differs from many of its brethren because it is treated with the same respect as they treat their Pinot Noir -- recognizing that restrained yields give intensity. “
