WINE DESCRIPTION

Belle Pente Pinot Gris is a white wine produced by Belle Pente Vineyard and Winery, located in the Willamette Valley appellation of Oregon. After the harvest the grapes are pressed and macerated before fermentation to gain extra complexity and add body to the final wine. The winemaking process involves fermentation partly in stainless steel tanks, partly in wooden barrels to gain depth and perfect balance of fruity and oak flavors, followed by aging on the lees to enhance the wine's texture and complexity. The result is a concentrated and rather intense Pinot Gris with smooth texture and a medium body.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Belle Pente Pinot Gris offers a vibrant nose of orchard fruits, melon, and citrus, complemented by a hint of honeysuckle.On the palate, the wine is medium bodied, with well integrated acidity and flavors of green apples, lemons, and white peach, leading to a finish of citrus with a hint of oak. Overall, this is a well-balanced and rather powerful wine.

ORIGINS

Winery: Belle Pente

Region: Oregon

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry. Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.
