Pinot Grigio

Estate Grown

River Junction AVA
California

The McManis 2021 Pinot Grigio is light straw in color and crisp and refreshing on the palate. Driven by notes of lemon, lime, and grapefruit with a touch of minerality, this wine is a go-to palate cleanser.

Harvest and Production Notes:
The fruit for our 2021 Pinot Grigio came from our sustainable River Junction Vineyard, located at the confluence of the Stanislaus and San Joaquin County Rivers. Temperatures are 2-5 degrees cooler than surrounding farmlands, creating a unique and special growing region.

Our Pinot Grigio grapes were picked fairly early in the ripening process in order to encourage citrus flavors and acid balance. The grapes were night-harvested in the month of August with an average brix of 21.5. After a gentle crush, the resulting must was immediately pressed and chilled. After crushing, the resulting must is pressed immediately and the wine is cold fermented in stainless steel until dry.
