Production Notes
Release Date: August 2024; Production 102 cases. Grauburgunder is the German word for Pinot Gris, and also means Great Burgundy". This wine was inspired by Weingut Friedrich Becker in the Pfalz region of Germany, where Makenzie worked harvest in 2019. Three days of skin contact give it lovely color, texture and body, not usually found in Pinot Gris. A small amount of Gewurztraminer interplanted in this block, offers tropical, fruity notes to this off-dry Rose.
