McManis - Pinot Grigio | California White Wine

Our Pinot Grigio is picked fairly early in the ripening process in order to encourage citrus flavors and acid balance. The grapes are picked at night so they come to the winery cold. The grapes for our 2020 Pinot Grigio were picked in August with an average Brix of 21.5 Deg. After a gentle crush, the resulting must was immediately pressed and chilled. After crushing, the resulting must is pressed immediately and the wine is cold fermented in stainless steel until dry. Our blend is predominantly Pinot Grigio with small doses of Chenin Blanc and Muscat Canelli blended in for further fruit complexity.
