There's a reason pinot gris is called 'gris' and not 'blanc'. It's technically not a white grape - it's a 'gray' grape - a seemingly white grape that with enought skin contact turns.... pink! So you can consider this a white wine with a lot of color, or you can consider it a rose. But whatever you consider it, it's damn good. It's like a combination of peach juice and crushed raspberries with tangy acidity and a bit of tannic grip. Chill it down for a high glug factor, or drink it just a little warmer than your typical rose to let the sneaky complicity shine through.

Enjoyed this chilled. Unfiltered and cloudy in the glass. It kinda makes me think of Asian fruits or smoothies and durian but in a good way. Nice acidity and a lime juice-like citrus character. Sort of Grapefruity. I can't quite wrap my head around this wine at the moment but I rather enjoy it!
