This light-bodied and pleasing Oregon Pinot Gris features lovely notes of green and white melon. Produced by the Fries Family, this Oregonian wine hails from the region of the Dundee Hills. Lots of fresh orchard fruit aromas and flavours. Great aperitif. Finishes with tropical fruit and lime. Pair with fresh seafood.

Pinot Gris food pairings: seafood, pasta with cream sauce, white meats, cheeses, salads.

Reviews and Ratings

Originally from California’s Central Valley, Doug and Jo Ann Fries moved to the Northwest in the 1980s. In 1984, they purchased property along the banks of the Willamette River in Dundee, Oregon, for a hazelnut orchard and also planted a small 13-acre vineyard from where this wine is produced. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
