Refinement and Aromas: The Core of Acrobat's Expertise
Acrobat's Oregon Pinot Gris reveals a subtle elegance in both aroma and taste. The wine erupts a light golden yellow in the glass, suggesting its youthfulness and freshness. On the nose, aromas of pear, melon, and passion fruit unfold, enriched with a hint of ginger that provides a surprising spicy note. This combination invites the first sip, where the aroma's promise is fully realized. The careful vinification, in which the grapes are quickly pressed and the juice fermented in stainless steel tanks, ensures that the wine retains its characteristic fruitiness and vibrant acidity. This results in a pure and juicy wine that is both complex and approachable.
