Pinot Grigio 2005 11.8% 0.65 (As Tartaric) 3.66

This is our first statewide release of Pinot Grigio.  We started producing Pinot Grigio with the 2003 vintage, but until now it has been available only in our Tasting Room.

We are in the process of expanding our Texas planting of this burgeoning variety.  Until these new plantings come into production we will be blending our Texas production with selected small lots from California.

Pinot Grigio is famous in Northeast Italy (Alto Adige and Friuli).  Pinot Grigio is one of the few white wine grape varieties that has dark colored skins as opposed to the green color of most whites.  The skins of this variety are gray (Grigio in Italian) but produce a beautiful aromatic white wine.

Llano Estacado 2005 Pinot Grigio is made in the Friulian style, exquisitely fresh and fruity, with delicate fragrance and flavor that express the clear varietal character of the wine. We recommend this wine as a fine accompaniment to all seafood, veal and poultry dishes.
