This white wine from Illahe is an Alsatian-style Pinot Gris, sourced from vineyards located in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. This wine is made from grapes that undergo gentle pressing directly after picking. The grapes are fermented in a combination of large neutral French oak casks and stainless steel to give both texture and brightness of fruit to the base wines before they are blended. The wine stays on the lees (dead yeast) throughout vinification process which further adds the texture and body of the wine.

Benton-Lane Pinot Gris is a white wine produced by Benton-Lane Winery in Oregon's Willamette Valley. The grapes are sourced from the estate vineyards, which are known for their cool climate and volcanic soils. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the fruit, but also partially in neutral wooden barrels to gain more complexity and body, after which the wine rested on its lees for 3 months before bottling. The resulting wine is crisp, smooth, with good structure and volume. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of foods, making it a great choice for any occasion.
