2013 Ponzi Vineyards Pinot Gris Paired with 2 Caviars from Lady Elena Caviar

2013 Ponzi Vineyards Pinot Gris

Background

The 2013 Pinot Gris is produced from certified sustainable Ponzi Aurora, Avellana and Estate Vineyards, Linda Vista, Gemini, Dion, Walnut Ridge, Ridge Road, Kraemer and Zenith Vineyards. The wine was fermented in temperature controlled stainless-steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation was prevented. The choice of closure was the Stelvin screwcap.  Alcohol is 12.8% with a residual sugar level of 5.7g/ resulting in a dry wine.

Wine Notes

The wine is made from 100% Pinot Gris and has a pale straw color. There are aromas of pears, fresh honeydew melon with apples. On the palate the wine has a medium bodied feel with the pear skin and apple. There is also some white pepper with an herbal mint note. On the dry finish the fruits coat your tongue and is followed by mouth watering acidity. Easy drinking.

Americana Caviar (White Sturgeon): As the wine coats your tongue the pear flavors from the wine compliment the softened caviar flavors.This is followed by palate cleansing mouth watering acidity. A great Lady Elena Caviar pairing.
