The second iteration of this wine is another lovely blend, this time leaning a little more into the Pinot Gris side of the mix. Floral and inviting on the nose, it draws you to a palate where the Pinot Blanc (15%) rounds the Gris off a bit, and lets the layered stone fruits shine. It’s long, crisp and soon to be an empty bottle should you opt to share, which is of course preferable. It’s also a small production item, so pull that trigger.
