Food and Wine Pairings
Winemaking Notes:
The grapes used to create the 2007 Mirassou California Pinot Grigio were sourced from several of California's finest growing regions, including the Central Coast and Russian River Valley. The combination of both cool and warm growing regions contributes a gentle complexity to the flavor profile by allowing the crisp acidic fruit characters from our coastal vineyards to blend with the ripe fruit characters from the inland vineyards.
The grapes were harvested in September 2007 at 22-23 Brix. They were gently whole cluster pressed to eliminate harshness and fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain their naturally high acidity level and contribute a fresh, crisp structure to the wine. The juice was clarified to provide a cleaner fermentation and smoother mouthfeel to the finished wine. A small amount of Sauvignon Blanc was blended in with the Pinot Grigio to add subtle citrus flavors and aromas.
Taste Profile:Our 2007 Mirassou California Pinot Grigio shows how refreshing a Pinot Grigio can be. It’s a crisp, clean wine that features subtle peach and citrus flavors. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with spicy dishes as well as grilled poultry or seafood. Our Pinot Grigio is ready to enjoy immediately upon release and should be able to age in the bottle for up to one year.
