Our 2022 Pinot Gris consists of two separate batches representing two distinct approaches.  The first batch, representing 85% of the blend, was whole bunch pressed, and settled in tank for 24 hours before racking the cloudy juice to neutral French oak puncheons for indigenous fermentation.   The remaining amount remained as intact whole bunches that were left undisturbed for five weeks under carbonic conditions.  After that time, we then pressed this parcel into tank to conclude fermenting the last several grams of sugar.  Once dry, this parcel was then again racked to neutral French oak puncheons.  With a total of 6 months of maturation on lees, these parcels were blended, lightly filtered, and bottled.
