Archery Summit 'Vireton' Pinot Gris

In 1993, Archery Summit set its sights on creating wines of real purpose in the Willamette Valley. Since, the Dundee Hills winery has helped establish the region as the cradle of cooler-climate American wine. Winemaker Ian Burch and his team achieve bar-raising wines by way of earned instincts—the familiarity gained from many shared vintages, tending sites they know personally.

This wine bursts from the glass, with zesty grapefruit followed by fresh and floral aromatics. The juicy acidity plays a major role, bringing balance to the wine and perfectly offsetting the salinity. Combining ripe orchard fruit and a touch of sea breeze, the Vireton Pinot Gris is crisp, lively, and tremendously refreshing.
