Winemakers Notes:  The wine has bright tropical fruit, peach, watermelon, fresh apricot and notes of mango Hi-Chews that go into a long, mineral and citrus-driven finish. With less than 3 g/L sugar, this is a dry and acid driven style of gris that can be enjoyed on its own on a hot day – or better still, at the dinner table!

Tikka was Eric Lemelson’s Great Pyrenees dog who loved to patrol the perimeter of our Pinot gris vineyards this wine is a tribute to her. Tikka’s Run Pinot gris is sourced from Chestnut Hill Vineyard, our higher elevation site. At over 1,000 ft of elevation, natural acidity and freshness are preserved.

Tikka’s Run Pinot Gris is sourced from Wascher Vineyard, a lower elevation site and Chestnut Hill Vineyard, a higher elevation site. Both sites have very different microclimates and soil types which makes for unique growing conditions and distinctive wine characteristics.
This wine has bright pear, peach and melon notes that go into a long, mineral and citrus-driven finish. A good fraction of this wine was barrel fermented, which rounds out the richness of the wine and brings it into balance with the its crisp, acidic backbone.
