Eyrie Pinot Gris differs from many of its brethren because we treat it with the same respect as we do our Pinot Noir. Restrained yields give intensity. The grapes are destemmed and undergo a long (4 hour) cycle in a basket press to dejuice. The wine is allowed to follow natural fermentation curves in small stainless tanks
Aging: Neutral oak and some stainless steel tank
