NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Chehalem Three Vineyard Pinot Gris is a delightful white wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Pinot Gris grape variety.On the nose, Chehalem Three Vineyard Pinot Gris offers enticing aromas of ripe pear, citrus zest, and floral notes. These aromatics are complemented by subtle hints of honey and spice, adding depth and complexity to the wine. Flavors of juicy pear, green apple, and lemon zest dominate, providing a bright and zesty character. There is also a touch of minerality that adds a layer of sophistication to the overall taste.
Its vibrant acidity and fruit-forward nature make it an excellent companion to seafood, particularly shellfish and grilled fish. It also pairs beautifully with light salads, creamy cheeses, and Asian cuisine.

ORIGINS
Winery: Chehalem
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.CUSTOMER RATING
