Benton Hills Pinot Gris 2022
Overview
 |
Our 2022 Pinot Gris bursts with invigorating notes of ripe Anjou pear, green apple, and a subtle hint of tropical fruit, all underpinned by a crisp, mineral-driven acidity. Its clean, refreshing finish makes it a versatile companion for a range of dishes, from shellfish to summer salads. |
Wine Facts
VINIFICATION: Benton Hills Pinot Gris shows tremendous lithe volume and bright fruit flavors due to a deliberate, cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine aged sur lees for 3 months to add volume a hint of sweet softness to the palate. No malolactic fermentation was completed after alcoholic fermentation to preserve the natural acidity and fresh, crisp fruit flavors.
INTERESTING FACT: Benton Hills Vineyards is in a premier wine region in southeastern Washington state, comprising several arid southwest sloping hills that are home to many of the Columbia valley’s most celebrated vineyards.
STORY: Ancient basalt flows formed a cluster of small mountains with gentle sloping hillsides ideal for growing vinifera grapes. We affectionately refer to them as our Benton Hills.
M.L. Monson brought his family to the Yakima Valley in the early 1900s. He came with a love for the land and the dream of building a family farming business that would continue for generations.
Initially, the focus was on orchards and cattle. In the 1990s, M.L.’s son Arvid began building in a new direction, establishing vineyards in the arid hills and valleys around Richland. This led to the founding of Goose Ridge Estate Vineyard & Winery in 1998.
Through years of remarkable growth and change, the family has remained true to the vision held by M.L. and Arvid Monson, and today Goose Ridge is led by Arvid’s three children, Bill, Molly and Valerie.
