WINE DESCRIPTION

King Estate Domaine Pinot Gris is a premium white wine produced by King Estate Winery, a renowned winery located in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. The wine is made from Pinot Gris grapes grown in the estate's sustainably farmed vineyards, which benefit from the region's cool climate and volcanic soil. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, resulting in a crisp and refreshing wine with vibrant acidity and flavors of ripe pear, citrus, and honey. This wine is a perfect match for seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes, and is a great choice for those who appreciate high-quality, sustainably produced wines.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This King Estate Domaine Pinot Gris has a delightful nose of ripe pear, marzipan, and honeysuckle.On the palate, it is creamy, with flavors of peach, melon, and a hint of honey. The finish is long and lush, with a touch of minerality and a pleasing acidity. It is an excellent example of Oregon's renowned Pinot Gris, and an excellent choice for any occasion.

ORIGINS

Winery: King Estate

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.
