Tessier 2022 Anderson Valley Pinot Gris: A Sustainably Crafted Dry White Wine

Indulge in the crisp elegance of Tessier’s 2022 Pinot Gris, a thoughtfully crafted wine born from Anderson Valley’s pristine vineyards in Mendocino County. This certified organic and Demeter biodynamic wine embodies a commitment to eco-conscious winemaking, offering both flavor complexity and environmental responsibility.

Sourced from Filigreen Farm’s sustainably managed vines, this Pinot Gris undergoes a meticulous process: hand-harvested at 24 brix on September 8th, 2021, it’s destemmed and left on skins for five days to deepen its character before stainless-steel fermentation. The result is a striking amber hue—think sunlit peach with hints of orange zest—paired with an aromatic profile of ripe plum, sun-ripened apricot, and a whisper of caramelized sugar.

On the palate, it delivers a lush yet refreshing balance: a fleshy mid-palate gives way to a bright finish marked by tangy tangerine pith, making it an ideal companion for seafood dishes or al fresco summer gatherings. At 14.1% alcohol by volume, it strikes a harmonious note between boldness and approachability.

Crafted with care for both taste and ethics, this vegan-certified wine stands out among Anderson Valley whites for its intentional farming practices and distinctive skin-contact technique—a rare find in Pinot Gris styles. Whether you’re seeking an organic wine option or a bold alternative to traditional whites, Tessier’s 2022 vintage offers unmatched depth rooted in sustainability.
