Producer's notes: "On the palate, the wine shows richness, intense sweet fruit, and that special mineral quality. The intense aromas of melon, apricot and citrus zest make it a fine accompaniment to shellfish, crab, salmon, spicy fare, and salad dishes." Elk Cove Vineyards farms estate vineyards across the northern Willamette Valley, where a cool climate and long growing season define the region’s style. The area’s volcanic and marine sedimentary soils provide both freshness and structure to Pinot Gris. The “Ultima” bottling reflects this terroir with balance, texture, and a clear sense of place.
