Chateau Grand Traverse – Pinot Noir Rosé Vin Gris (Eclectic)

Description

With its shortened maceration, our crisp and lightly fruity Pinot Noir Vin Gris Rosé wine pairs excellently with a wide variety of foods. Learn more about it.
While its long name may seem complex, this specialty Pinot Noir Rosé Vin Gris is defined by its unique grape varietal and our process for creating it at Chateau Grand Traverse. We used dark pinot noir grapes and briefly pressed them in a Vin Gris Rosé style. The result is a refreshing, versatile wine that’s part of our Eclectic wine collection. All the Eclectic wines are vintage-dated, small-production wines. From eccentric blends to hands-on harvesting practices to vineyard-specific bottlings, each wine tells a unique story. TASTING NOTES It may seem “pretty in pink,” but this is a seriously polished wine made from gently pressed Pinot Noir grapes. With just a touch of sweetness, this medium-bodied Pinot Noir Vin Gris Rosé wine exudes bright tart cherry aroma, crisp melon, and light vanilla with a lasting finish. With its milder flavor, this wine is perfectly matched for those hard-to-pair foods like roasted vegetables and tomato-based pastas. This wine will most certainly command a room.
