Whale Light 2022 Pinot Gris Columbia Valley, Washington

Description

Our Whale Light Pinot Gris continues to impress year after year. Our 2022 vintage is crisp and bright with notes of citrus, stone fruit and minerality. This wine comes from a small section of Washington’s Columbia Valley, where our local winemaking partners use eco-friendly practices to farm over 3,500 acres of vineyard. Washington sits at one of the highest latitudes among the world’s wine regions. At first glance, it may seem too cold and wet to ripen grapes properly. However, the Cascade Mountains block the state’s eastern side from rainstorms, allowing its renowned winegrowing regions to thrive. This results in a short summer season with long days full of sun, making it the perfect home for Pinot Gris. These grapes use abundant sunlight to develop lively fruit flavors while cold nights preserve natural acidity, shaping each refreshing sip of our 2022 vintage.
