Maloof 2024 "Where Ya PJ's At?"

Pinot Gris, Riesling

Willamette Valley, OR

Medium-Body

Soft herbs and hard cherry candy aromas from skin contact Pinot Gris met by lots of high toned acid from barrel-fermented, dry Riesling. Flinty, mineral reduction, a little ginger spice and an almost effervescent texture with grippy tannin.

Organic, Own-Rooted, Dry-Farmed

The gris is fermented on the skins until dry. Around 20% of the Gris is fermented via carbonic maceration in a separate bin. The two lots of gris are pressed off together and put into neutral oak. The Riesling is direct-pressed and fermented in neutral oak barrels. The wine is assembled into tank in spring, and bottled without fining or filtration.
