About This Wine


FogBreak

Pinot Gris

Each morning, the cooling fog rolls across the valleys of California’s Northern and Central Coasts. Due to these cool conditions, vineyards below this cloud cover undergoes a longer growing season, which is the essence of perfection for Pinot Gris. Fogbreak Pinot Gris is beautifully aromatic, with pure notes of peach and white flowers that are bolstered by a crisp acidity. We believe that this Pinot Gris is a lovely picnic companion, but that it is also fantastic with a rich dish at home. From fried chicken to creamy risotto, this wine will bring a coastal freshness with notes of pear, honeydew and white flowers.

Wine Region


Monterey County

Not to be confused with Monterey AVA, Monterey County is a larger designation that also includes the Carmel and San Antonio valleys, among others. Encompassing three distinct zones at the northern end of the Central Coast, Monterey County produces vast amounts of high-quality Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris. For reds, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon have often been replaced by Pinot Noir, Syrah and Grenache in recent years. These cooler-climate grapes achieve greatness through the influence of Monterey Bay, which pushes cold fogs and chilly afternoon winds down the Salinas Valley, tempering the sun's heat and allowing a long, moderate ripening season.

  • A figure representing the Peach tasting note. Peach
  • A figure representing the Pear tasting note. Pear

The lush flavors and round palate of this wine make it hard to ignore. It’s a viscous indulgence with notes of lemon and pear, subtly held up by lighter tastes of white flowers. The broad texture and moderate acidity can easily support creamy sauces, chicken, or grilled fish.
