Maloof 2025 "Thistle" Pinot Gris

100% Pinot Gris

Willamette Valley, Oregon

~

Know what I mean? Peaches and cream. Clear cut pithy citrus flavors, supported by a custardy mouth feel and Jurançon Sec-esque aromatics.  A fun and invigorating white with nervy acids that will make you want to set up a kiddy pool in your front yard post-haste. Ooh girl I need it. Serve chilled with summertime seafood dishes or white za.  Better yet, serve chilled with white za that has seafood on it.

Approach: Direct press, fermented in neutral oak barrels. Aged on the lees with no bâtonnage for 9 to 10 months and then bottled without any fining or filtration.
