2022 Pinot Grigio – Long Island AVA

We always love offering a new vintage of Pinot Grigio as ours defies the usual expectations of the grape. Our 2022 Pinot Grigio is alive with aromas and flavors of tree-ripe peaches (yellow and white), Golden and Granny Smith apples, pears, white flowers, spice, a touch of honey and what has become a tell-tale note in our whites; a salty, chalky minerality. This lovely dry white wine is clean, alluring and focused with loads of personality and a silken mouthfeel. We have often said that Pinot Grigio gets a bad rap from the thin, dilute industrial examples and we are proud to enlighten the naysayers with a Pinot Grigio of superior character. For our 2022 version all the fruit was hand-harvested, whole cluster-pressed and fermented in a stainless steel tank. The wine was handled minimally and bottled after eight months on its lees. Our 2022 is composed of 100% Pinot Grigio. The wine possesses a pale straw color with green inflections, medium-body, moderate alcohol, medium acidity and ends with a long juicy, satisfying finish. The 2022 Pinot Grigio features fruit from both our home farm in Bridgehampton and from the Mudd West Vineyard on the North Fork, hence the blended Long Island AVA. We are proud of our Pinot Grigio and encourage you to drink it with local fish and shellfish (especially fried), sheep's milk cheeses, zucchini frittatas, light chicken dishes, pastas and charcuterie. We made 398 cases of this wonderful wine and suggest taking advantage of the real and very attractive quality/value ratio - a great easy-drinking, versatile, every day as well as any-kind-of party white wine!
