Elk Cove Vineyards Estate Pinot Gris
The wine has bright pear, lemon peel, melon and white flower notes that go into a long, mineral, and citrus-driven finish. A good fraction of this wine was barrel fermented, which really helps round out the richness of the wine and bring it into balance with the wine’s crisp, acidic backbone. Elk Cove Vineyards is a family‑owned Oregon winery founded in 1974 by Pat and Joe Campbell. It is one of Oregon's oldest and most respected wine producers. Today, the estate is managed by the next generation, emphasizing estate‑grown fruit, sustainable practices, and wines that reflect site.
