Alexana 'Terroir Series' Pinot Gris

Alexana Winery was born of Dr. Madaiah Revana’s love of the great wines of Burgundy. In the spring of 2005, Dr. Revana began a search for both the ideal region and an experienced winemaker with the goal of producing Pinot Noirs that could rival those from Burgundy. His search ended in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where he met Lynn Penner-Ash. Alexana is named after Dr. Revana’s daughter, Alexandra.

The fruit for their Pinot Gris is double hand-sorted and the juice is pressed off whole cluster. We ferment the juice fully and allow the finished wine to sit on the lees stirring every two weeks extracting further flavor and texture. On the nose, notes of fig and red apple. On the palate, rich and rounded flavors present themselves with melon & citrus notes.
