NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Duck Pond Pinot Gris is an elegant and balanced white wine, with bright fruit and a hint of minerality.On the nose, the wine offers notes of citrus, white peach, and freshly cut grass. On the palate, the flavors are of ripe pear and honey, with a light, refreshing acidity. The finish is long and crisp, with hints of lemon zest and a touch of stony minerality. Well-balanced and complex, this is a great food-friendly white.

ORIGINS

Winery: Duck Pond

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.
