A delicious wine with big round, soft flavors, a mouth full of crisp citrus and tropical fruits, and a balanced acidity. New release April 2006.

VINEYARD The Christine Lorraine Vineyard is one small block adjacent to Gary & Christine's Vineyard, which surrounds the winery, located on the backside of Bald Peak in Washington County, Oregon. The vineyard is planted one meter by one meter and is organically grown. Although the vineyard is planted predominantly to Pinot Noir, this three acre parcel of Pinot Gris and Chardonnay was retained for Christine's love of the blend.

WINEMAKING Clusters were hand-sorted first in the field, and then upon arrival at the winery. The wine was made primarily with Pinot Gris, but a small percentage of Chardonnay was blended in to add breadth on the palate. Using indigenous yeasts, the Christine Lorraine Vineyard Pinot Gris was fermented on its skins in traditional Alsatian-style neutral oak ovals. Stylistically, fermenting and aging in oak rather than stainless steel adds complexity to the wine. The

WINE The Christine Lorraine Vineyard Pinot Gris displays the depth of fruit and texture derived from such close spacing in the vineyard. It displays a round mouth full of crisp citrus and tropical fruits and a balanced acidity. It is a great white wine for red wine drinkers because of its complexity; Christine simply describes the wine as "Delicious!" This is the only white wine produced by Gypsy Dancer Estates.
