86% Pinot Gris, 9% Viognier, 2% Chardonnay, 3% Pinot Blanc
Aromas of ripe cantaloupe and honeydew, lychee, and honeysuckle. On the palate you have orange blossom water, Asian pear, Meyer lemon, and lime leaf.
The goal was to make a wine with suble notes of the perfume that Viognier can add to a wine without dominating the structure of the other varietals that add complexity (Chardonnay and Pinot blanc) and still make the wine bright and refreshing. The backbone of course, is Pinot Gris which has cirtus, guava, and mango notes. The wine is a bit richer and certainly more complex than just being one varietal - Pinot Gris. By haing this complexity it can take on dishes with more richness like beurre blanc sauces and yet can still hold up to a fresh raw oyster.
