2023 Pinot Gris
Our 2023 single vineyard Pinot Gris continues in the tradition of making a simply delicious, refreshing white wine from one of Oregon’s first successful grape varieties. Pinot Gris remains the number one selling white wine from Oregon and we strive to make a wine that keeps it that way. This bottle edges out other Willamette Valley offerings with a perfect balance of fruit and acidity, the hallmark of a Shumaker Vineyards Pinot Gris. We strive to express an aromatic bouquet, robust flavors of tropical fruits, citrus, spices and honey, with a crisp and refreshing finish. This promises to become your new favorite white wine, if it is not already.
This bottling received the coveted "Cellar Select" designation from Oregon Wine Press magazine in May 2024, judged to be one of the best Pinot Gris wines in Oregon.

"Enjoy vibrant fruit aromas of ripe white peaches, apricots and poached pears, exuding the sweetness of a summer harvest. Savor the spicy warmth of candied ginger and gingerbread spices combined with dried clementines, honeydew melon and honeysuckle blossoms to invigorate the senses. A drizzle of honey ties everything together, adding a luxurious richness to the overall flavor profile."
