Varietal

Pinot Gris

The Pinot Grigio or Pinot Gris grape varietal is now one of the most widely grown vines in the world, due to the surge in popularity of Pinot Grigio wines over the past twenty years or so. These grayish-blue fruits, which hang in their distinctively conical bunches, are responsible for a very broad range of wines famous for their variety of color tones and flavors Pinot Grigio varietal grapes are highly influenced by terroir, climate and particularly the skill and expertise of the vintners who process them. As such, there are full bodied, amber colored wines made from this grape, and there are equally delicious yet far leaner, paler, lighter bodied and crisp white wines made from the same species in other parts of the world.

Country

United States

Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

Region

California

California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.

Appellation

Mendocino County

Mendocino County, nestled in Northern California, is a captivating wine appellation celebrated for its diverse terroirs and sustainable winemaking practices. What makes Mendocino County unique is its rugged topography, spanning coastal hills, valleys, and inland mountains, each contributing to a variety of microclimates. The region's commitment to sustainable and organic viticulture adds to its allure, emphasizing environmental stewardship and the production of high-quality, eco-conscious wines. Mendocino County excels in the cultivation of a range of grape varieties, including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and Rhône varietals. The coastal influence and temperature differentials between day and night create wines with vibrant acidity and nuanced flavors. Noteworthy sub-appellations like Anderson Valley and Potter Valley showcase the region's potential for cool-climate varieties. Exploring Mendocino County offers wine enthusiasts a journey into the harmonious marriage of diverse terroirs and mindful winemaking, resulting in wines that reflect both the land and the dedication to sustainability.
