Producer’s Notes:
Eyrie pioneered the variety in the New World and the New Worlds oldest vines contribute to this cuve. We take a slow approachour Pinot gris ages 3-4 times longer than most commercial versions, on its natural yeast lees and in the company of full malolactic. The result is textural suppleness to complement the acidity, and a surprising ability to age. Recent tastings of 1977, 1983, 1989, and 1991 all continue toshow amazing freshness.
