Notes of pear, melon and white peach on the nose, with a hint of pithiness and salinity. Pear and yellow apple on a round and supple palate that tapers beautifully, showing a nice acidic edge. Savoury and mouthwatering on the finish. Winemaker Max Bruening is a 10-year Ponzi veteran who took over for Luisa Ponzi in 2024. He pressed this wine as whole-bunch, settled it 24 hours, then fermented it on the lees in stainless steel, allowing 70% malolactic conversion. At a time when Willamette Valley Chardonnays are commanding higher and higher prices, this delicious wine is a reminder of what a bargain Willamette Valley Pinot Gris can be. 13.5% abv.
