Aromatics of poached pear and honeysuckle blend with hints of thyme to introduce this refreshing wine. The super juicy palate of ripe pear and apricot lingers into a zesty finish of peach skin and lemon.

Our Pinot Gris is hand-harvested from our hillside vineyards in the northern Willamete Valley.  Pinot Gris has long been a focus at Elk Cove - our Winery Estate Vineyard boasts some of the oldest Pinot Gris vines in Oregon, dating back to 1985.  Three of our other estate vineyard sites are also planted with Pinot Gris, including 50 acres on steep sloped Mount Richmond Vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. Planted in a highdensity format, all our Pinot Gris undergoes shoot and crop thinning for low yields to maximize quality and concentration.

Always a standard bearer, the latest Pinot Gris from Elk Cove is excellent. Fresh-grated lemon zest and orange blossom aromas are accented by a wee bit of wet slate. The wine, which was whole-cluster pressed and cold fermented in small stainless steel tanks, possesses flavors ranging from grapefruit lightly sprinkled in sugar to a green apple gummy bear.
