Terra d'Oro Clarksburg Pinot Grigio 2022

The Pinot Grigio entices with aromas of wet stone, persimmon, lychee, lemon zest and melon candy accentuated by floral and mineral notes. On the palate, the wine has generous juicy stone fruit and nectarine, followed by a round midpalate and a core of minerality leading to a long, elegant finish

This wine hails from sustainably certified vineyards in Clarksburg, an appellation located 30 miles east of Amador County. This AVA enjoys cooler temperatures than surrounding regions thanks to the breezes that flow up the Sacramento River Delta from San Francisco Bay. This allows grapes to ripen slowly and develop depth in flavors and aromas — perfect conditions for growing aromatic white grape varieties such as Pinot Grigio

Grapes for the Terra d’Oro Pinot Grigio were harvested at night to preserve their bright flavor and acidity. At our certified sustainable winery, the fruit was gently pressed and the juice fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature to bring out the variety’s clean fruit character. In total, the wine spent 3 months on the yeast lees to help build complexity, mouthfeel and flavor.
