Thistle Vineyard Pinot Gris 2019

Maloof

$25.95 Sale • Save

“Pinot Gris? Woah. Clear cut citrus flavors of lime pith supported by a custardy mouth feel and Jurançon Sec-esque aromatics. A fun and invigorating white with nervy acids that will make you want to set up a slip n slide in your front yard post-haste. Fermented in neutral oak barrels and sur lie aged with no batonnage for 9 months.” “Serve chilled with summertime seafood dishes or white za. Better yet, serve chilled with white za that has seafood on it.” — Ross + Bee Maloof, Maloof Wines

The Producer

About Maloof

Meet Ross Maloof and Bee Selman, a dynamic duo embodying the perfect balance of yin and yang. Ross, a materials engineer steeped in hard science, and Bee, a restaurant professional with a finely tuned sensory approach, converge as two passionate nerds driven by their love for hospitality and impeccably fermented pizza dough. Ross Maloof's foray into winemaking began unexpectedly during a visit to Oregon, where he found himself interning in the Willamette Valley during harvest. Prior to this, he honed his craft in the Philadelphia dining scene for over a decade, notably serving as the beverage director and general manager for Vedge Restaurant group. Gradually becoming bi-coastal, Ross dedicated more time to winemaking, culminating in his inaugural vintage in 2015.
