Kick off your next gathering with a glass of our 2023 Pinot Grigio, a vibrant and refreshing wine that’s perfect for a first pour. It opens with intriguing aromas of banana and exotic lychee, supported by subtle mineral notes from Leelanau County’s unique soil. When you taste it, you’ll notice crisp green apple flavors with a hint of pear, leading to a bright and clean finish. This wine pairs beautifully with a summer salad featuring fresh peaches and creamy brie, enhancing the dish’s freshness and delicate sweetness.

Vineyard Notes:

The 2023 growing season began earlier than 2022 but all our vineyards dodged a late spring frost that could've spelled trouble. Instead, it beame a banner year. Total growing degree days came in a mere 1% above 2022, but the heat came mostly during the heart of the season, when the days are long and the vines can make the best use of it. The big difference between the rainfall in '22 and '23, however, came in the number of hours we received rainfall: 60 fewer hours of rainfall, or about a 20% drop from 2022. That was a huge factor in 2023 turning in some of the cleanest, ripest grapes we've ever harvested.

2023 set a new record for tons of grapes harvested and quality metrics were on par with the 2021 vintage, which produced outstanding wines from top to bottom. It wasn't uncommon for fruit to come off the vine between 21-22 degrees Brix and, for the most part, with pHs exactly where we want them.
