Palate

Full-bodied, slightly creamy Alsatian style Gris. White nectarine, peach, honeysuckle with a sourdough crust finish.

Growing Conditions

Woodenfish vineyard is found in the heart of the Leelanau Peninsula AVA. The vineyard is hand-tended using high standard canopy management practices to ensure the highest quality of grapes.

Winemaking

Our acid levels are a little higher for a traditional Alsatian style Gris, but the pH is a bit higher due to extended lees aging which adds to its medium body and creamy palate which more truly emulates the Gris style.

Food Pairing

White meat: fish (perch/trout), scallops; Salty veggies: Asparagus; Semi-soft cheese like Grana Padano.
