Cartesian
California
Another thought-provoking release from three-time Gold Medalist Cartesian
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Cartesian
Pinot Grigio
Our bright and youthful Pinot Grigio invites you to immerse yourself in flavor. Cartesian relies on the wisdom gained from the past to shape the great wines of the present and future. Our 2021 vintage is a studied example of signature California Pinot Grigio with crisp acidity complemented by tropical notes and citrus. Although most associate this refreshing grape with Italy, it actually originated in France (called Pinot Gris), where the great thinkers and viticulturists of the time determined it to be a genetic mutation of Pinot Noir. Since making their way to California, Pinot Grigio grapes have made their home in the state’s varied climates. The reliably warm weather and access to the sun allow it to show off its popular fruit-forward styling while cool, oceanic influence protects its lively acidity.

WINE REGION:
California
California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

TASTING NOTES:
White Flowers
Lime
Guava
Uplifting and sweetly scented white flowers greet you on the nose. With each sip, you’ll discover the body is friendly and light with mouthwatering acidity. Though this wine is dry, it presents intensely fruity flavors of ripe guava and lime zest. Serve well chilled with salty fried foods.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Cartesian
French philosopher René Descartes advocated for logic and referencing the past to progress the future. Like Descartes, our winemakers at Cartesian are firm believers in learning from their predecessors. We push, experiment, and continually ask questions in the spirit of making our wines better. Versatile and worthy of examination, Cartesian wines allow you to deliberate life’s bigger questions rather than ponder your wine selection.
