Elk Cove Pinot Gris 2023

Elk Cove Pinot Gris 2023 is a crisp, aromatic, and nicely textured Oregon white wine produced from estate-grown, hillside vineyards in the northern Willamette Valley. Made from whole-cluster pressed fruit that is cold-fermented in small stainless steel tanks, it avoids oak contact to preserve its vibrant freshness and pure varietal expression. In the glass, it delivers inviting aromatics of poached pear, orange blossom, and lemon zest with a touch of wet slate minerality. On the palate, it is juicy and layered, featuring vibrant notes of ripe nectarine, green apple, and cantaloupe alongside a zesty, mouthwatering citrus finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with grilled halibut, pan-seared sea scallops, roasted chicken, goat cheese salad, light pasta dishes, and fresh sushi.

Always a standard bearer, the latest Pinot Gris from Elk Cove is excellent. Fresh-grated lemon zest and orange blossom aromas are accented by a wee bit of wet slate. The wine possesses flavors ranging from grapefruit lightly sprinkled in sugar to a green apple gummy bear.
