Detailed Technical Sheet: Joel Gott Pinot Gris
From fourth-generation vintner Joel Gott, this Pinot Gris is a brilliant example of the brand’s philosophy: sourcing the best fruit from prime appellations to create expressive, food-friendly wines. For this bottling, Gott turns to the cool-climate vineyards of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, a region renowned for producing world-class Pinot Gris with vibrant aromatics and crisp acidity.
