The house that Pinot Gris built does more than just Pinot Gris on the white side of the house. King Estate’s budget friendly Willamette Valley Chardonnay is properly dry, showing pear, lemon crème and nuanced barrel influence. Couple that with bright acidity and you get a wine with a long, freshening finish with layered push and persistence. It’s built for seafood – dive in.
