CLASSIC FLAVOR PROFILES OF VARIETAL

Pinot Gris has softer, stone fruit flavors that add a luscious note to the wine. Riesling is high in acidity, which keeps the wine zippy and vibrant. Together they create an easy drinking, everyday wine. While some wines are for special occasions, everyday wine has its place too! Sometimes you just want to drink something that is straightforward, crisp, and clean. Think of it like preparing a meal: on the weekends or special occasions, you might decide to cook a special recipe. On weeknights, you might want to cook something simple that does not require much preparation. For everyday meals, why not pair an everyday wine? 

VARIETAL FACTS

Pinot Gris is a pink-skinned mutation of Pinot Noir. The two varieties are indistinguishable in the vineyard until the grapes ripen and change color from green. Riesling is a white grape variety that originated in the Germany. Riesling tends to be aromatic with notes of lime, citrus blossom, and, when very ripe, tropical fruits. It is used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet, and even sparkling white wines. 

HISTORY

In the past, every wine was a blend. People would plant a mix of varieties as a hedge against bad outcomes. If something negative happened, like an extreme drought, some grapes could handle the adversity better than others. During harvest, the entire field would be picked at once and fermented together, creating what is called a field blend. Nowadays grape varieties are usually grown, harvested, and fermented separately, only being blended after fermentation.
