One of the original and most recognized Oregon and U.S. Pinot Gris producers, Ponzi was a major influence in establishing Pinot Gris as the first quality white grape variety in Oregon. Ponzi’s Pinot Gris is an irresistibly aromatic and expressive wine, and serves as a first encounter for many wine drinkers with Oregon wines and the Ponzi estate.

Fermented in temperature controlled, stainless-steel tanks, not exceeding 55˚F. Malolactic fermentation was prohibited to retain the bright and lively character of the wine. Stelvin closures (screwcaps) were used on 100% of the production.

“Passionfruit, kumquat, kiwi waft from this aromatic nose. Tropical notes mingled with white jasmine, white lavender, touches of green tea, pear, white pepper and cumin. The compelling nose leads to a full, juicy mouth of ripe yellow plum, honeydew melon, salty freshness, starfruit and sweet meyer lemon.” –
Winemaker Luisa Ponzi
