Food and Wine Pairings
Winemaking Notes:
The grapes that went into making the Mirassou Pinot Grigio were sourced from a number of California's premier wine-growing regions, including Sonoma County and the Central Coast. 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 late August to mid September at 23-24° Brix. At the winery, they were whole cluster pressed to minimize harsh phenolics. The juice was cold settled before racking to the fermenter which results in a cleaner fermentation and more elegant mouthfeel. The must was fermented in stainless steel tanks for approximately 14-21 days at 60 - 62° F. After fermentation, it was racked for settling and blending. The wine was aged in the bottle for two months prior to release.
Taste Profile:Our Mirassou California Pinot Grigio reveals intense aromas and flavors of peach, pear and citrus with crisp, lively acidity create an exceptionally refreshing wine. 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 one to two years.
