Lemelson Tikka’s Run 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. Lemelson Vineyards began as a dream to create a winery that celebrates innovation in technology, sustainability in agriculture, and tradition in winemaking. Eric Lemelson started his winery with the intention of building something that would not only serve consumers, but also the longevity of the pristine state.
