Established in 2003, The Four Graces is committed to making rich, complex wines where the fruit may be elegantly expressed. The winery offers pinot noir as well as small amounts of pinot gris, pinot blanc and chardonnay. The wines are produced from our three estate vineyards aE" Foley Family Estate, Doe Ridge Estate, our new Van Duzer Corridor vineyard and other top sites in the Willamette Valley. Highly acclaimed, The Four Graces wines are hand-crafted in small lots using traditional techniques coupled with the most modern technology in winemaking. The 2021 vintage will be remembered in the Willamette Valley for record setting heat and dry conditions. We sourced this pinot gris from our own estate vineyards in the Dundee Hills, the Van Duzer Corridor, as well as some of our favorite cool climate vineyards of the Willamette Valley near Mt. Angel. Most of the fruit for our pinot gris ripened quickly with fast increase in brix over a three week time-frame. The grapes harvested showed excellent ripeness and bright acidity. Our 2021 Pinot Gris was bottled on ValentineaEs Day after minimal stainless steel aging to preserve the aromatics and freshness to create a lively and crisp wine. Beautiful bright aromas of citrus fruit, fresh lime and wild strawberry mingle in the glass with a hint of struck flint. The palate continues with grapefruit, fresh citrus and lime zest, followed by a touch of quince and wet stone, which leads into a vibrant lingering acidity.
