Van Duzer Estate Pinot Gris is a premium white wine produced by Van Duzer Vineyards, a renowned winery located in the Willamette Valley appellation of Oregon. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the estate's sustainably farmed vineyards, which benefit from the cool ocean breezes that flow through the Van Duzer Corridor. This unique microclimate allows for a longer growing season and results in grapes with vibrant acidity and complex flavors. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, which preserves the wine's fresh fruit aromas and crisp, clean finish. The style of this Pinot Gris is elegant and refined, with notes of citrus, pear, and white flowers. It is a perfect pairing for seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes.

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.
