@Delectable Wine this is Statera Cellars’ IUVO 1 Pinot Gris Pet-Nat. Appellation is Willamette Valley, Oregon. NV.

Super unique pet-nat. Pinot Gris fermented on Aligote skins for a short period that are I believe leftover from another white wine from this producer. Zesty, refreshing, juicy goodness. Has a not-insignificant beer-like character; a wine for beer drinkers for sure.

- Color: medium (-) intensity burnished straw-yellow, cloudy
- Nose: ripe pithy grapefruit juice, underripe white peach, lager-esque yeastiness, hay, lilac, saline, beeswax, and in an interesting way kind of an almost hoppy scent although I’m pretty sure this is not a hopped wine, just skin fermented
- Palate: ripe grapefruit juice, lager-esque yeastiness, hay, starfruit, beeswax, saline, and that same pleasant subtle hoppiness on the nose
- Acid: medium (+)
- RS: mostly dry, just a tiny detectable trace for balance/also due to production method
- Alcohol: medium (-)/medium, not too noticeable
- Body: medium (-), round-textured with a relatively low intensity, fine bead of bubbles
