100% Sauvignon Gris     12.5% ABV

Sauvignon Gris is a rare mutation of Sauvignon Blanc.  The skin is thicker and is pink in color, and the variety can produce wines that are more voluptuous in texture than of their more famous sibling.  Like Nine Oaks Kisi (March club selection), this is an orange wine, meaning that white grapes are treated like black grapes, with extended skin contact, and regular punchdowns, resulting in orange hued wines with more tannins than most white wines.  Two months of skin contact, then aging in concrete eggs and stainless steel.  This Orange Wine has a thick mouthfeel, with lip-smacking acidity.  Rose petals, orange peel, tangerine, grapefruit, underlying bitter notes. This is a food wine.

Food Pairing Suggestions:
Enjoy this unique wine with spiced oven-baked fish or chicken, ground pork stuffed cabbage, butternut squash ravioli with brown butter sauce, Japanese-style sea bass, pasta with porcini and guanciale, chicken enchiladas with sour cream and avocado salsa, chicken curry over rice and roast chicken with mushroom barley risotto. This wine is also excellent with bold, exotic foods - think Asian, Moroccan, Korean and even Ethiopian cuisine! Or simply savor this wine with funky cheeses, charcuterie, anchovies, olives and roasted chestnuts.
