Inspired by the great wines of Alsace, the Belle Pente Pinot Gris features beguiling aromas of honey, apricot, clove, and sage that open nicely in the glass. The palate offers lemon curd, Bartlett pear, and honeycomb flavors which are balanced by zesty minerality and mouthwatering, brisk acidity. Easy drinking and delicious on its own or it can serve as a terrific food wine. Of note, Belle Pente’s Assistant Winemaker is an incredibly talented young female winemaker named Lisette Hrapmann.
