This wine is made in the French Alsatian, not the northern Italian (Pinot Grigio), style. The optimally ripe grapes were de-stemmed, cold soaked overnight, and pressed before a controlled, low-temperature fermentation was initiated using Alsatian yeast. The wine was held after fermentation on the yeast in neutral French-oak barrels, with biweekly stirring, for approximately 4 months, thereby allowing yeast break-down products to flavor the wine. The result is a well-balanced wine with a rich, smooth flavor and mouth feel.
