Mason Cellars Three Pears Pinot Grigio 2012 is made from 100 percent Pinot Grigio

Vineyard Notes: Nestled within the Sacramento Delta, our Three Pears Pinot Gris is sourced from an ideal climate for producing crisp, aromatic white wines. The heavy maritime influence cools the afternoon heat with consistent winds, moderating temperature and allowing for clean fruit flavors and great acid retention. Built on the levy system, soils are fertile but well drained tending to produce balanced vines; canopies with great exposure for subtle nuanced flavors.

Winemaking Notes: Long, cool fermentation in 100% stainless steel tanks, capture the expressive, clean fruit flavors characteristic of vineyards in this area. Harvested at lower brix, the natural acid levels compliment the crisp apple and pears flavors of our Three Pears. The lengthy fermentation produces wines with great balance, clean mid-palates, rounded out by a slight sweetness.

Tasting Notes: Aromatics of crisp pear, pippin apple and citrus. Nectarous pears, peaches and apples combine in a rich mouthfeel, complemented by a savory acidity.
