2023 Duck Pond Cellars La Chouette Skin Contact Pinot Gris

2023 La Chouette Vineyard Skin Contact Pinot Gris – Willamette Valley, Oregon

Bright, expressive, and full of character, our 2023 Skin Contact Pinot Gris from La Chouette Vineyard is a vivid expression of Oregon winemaking. This estate-grown wine shines a deep pink hue in the glass and bursts with aromas of strawberry pastille, tart cherry, and hibiscus tea. On the palate, layers of cherry pie and crisp red apple lead into a refreshing finish of lemon zest and forest berries.

Sourced from the sustainably farmed La Chouette Vineyard in the Willamette Valley, this Pinot Gris was gently fermented on its skins, then aged on its lees for added depth and texture. The result is a wine that is both playful and serious, capturing the balance of the 2023 vintage—a season marked by cool springs, balanced ripening, and exceptional fruit integrity.

Perfect for summer gatherings, al fresco dining, or simply enjoyed well chilled, this Pinot Gris pairs beautifully with grilled salmon, fresh salads, or charcuterie.
