As such, this Vin Gris is made from bespoke grapes and is not a byproduct of red wine production, per se. We harvested at the appropriate ripeness level for its style. The essential principle here is that less is truly more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/bonny-doon-beverage-warehouse-002.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3977\" src=\"http:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/bonny-doon-beverage-warehouse-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1423\" height=\"835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/bonny-doon-beverage-warehouse-002.jpg 1423w, https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/bonny-doon-beverage-warehouse-002-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/bonny-doon-beverage-warehouse-002-768x451.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/bonny-doon-beverage-warehouse-002-1024x601.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1423px) 100vw, 1423px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Tasting Notes<\/h4>\n<p>The \u201916 Vin Gris is a bit of a departure from recent vintages, somewhat deeper in color and definitely a bit fruitier than some, though the fruit is perhaps (at least at this stage) more of the dark and brooding variety, particularly suggestive of black currants, Damson plum and rosehips. In our modern world, one must never, ever, ever, make anything like a health claim for an alcoholic beverage. Les fran\u00e7ais, on the other hand, have no difficulty believing that a properly selected wine can remediate, if not cure almost any medical or existential complaint. So, no, I\u2019m not saying that the Vin Gris has a calmative effect on jangled nerves, nor that it creates an immense feeling of well-being almost immediately upon just scenting it, even before the first sip. (Though it does smell an awful lot like any of the sundry tisanes (tilleul, eglantine) that will definitely do you some good.) Its perfume is subtle, haunting, not vulgar or tawdry, like some of the louche ros\u00e9s de la nuit. Enfin, this wine is all about elegance and restraint. Rosehips, cassis, fraises de bois, citrus rind, with a wonderfully austere stony finish.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/bonny-doon-beverage-warehouse-003.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3976\" src=\"http:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/bonny-doon-beverage-warehouse-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1423\" height=\"835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/bonny-doon-beverage-warehouse-003.jpg 1423w, https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/bonny-doon-beverage-warehouse-003-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/bonny-doon-beverage-warehouse-003-768x451.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/bonny-doon-beverage-warehouse-003-1024x601.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1423px) 100vw, 1423px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Vineyard Notes<\/h4>\n<p>The Grenache for our Vin Gris came principally from the Alta Loma Vineyard, harvested at the appropriate maturity level for this elegant style of wine. The Mourv\u00e8dre came from Del Barba Vineyard in Contra Costa County. About 22% of the wine is composed of traditional white Rh\u00f4ne varieties in substantial part from the Beeswax Vineyard, adding a surprising richness and foundation.<\/p>\n<h4>Production Notes<\/h4>\n<p>We also employed the practice of post-fermentation b\u00e2tonnage\u2014the stirring or resuspension of yeast lees\u2014to give the wine a certain creaminess of texture.<\/p>\n<h4>Food Pairing Notes<\/h4>\n<p>Just begs for oysters or stone crab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>30 Days of Ros\u00e9 continues at the Beverage Warehouse &#8211; today, we are featuring Vin Gris de Cigare by Bonny Doon 30 Days of Ros\u00e9 | #04 | Bonny Doon | Vin Gris de Cigare | 2016 | $14.99 From bonnydoonvineyard.com: 2016 Vin Gris de Cigare | Pink Wine of the Earth The wine does &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/2017\/04\/06\/30-days-of-rose-04-bonny-doon-vin-gris-de-cigare-2016\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">30 Days of Ros\u00e9 | #04 | Bonny Doon | Vin Gris de Cigare | 2016<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3981,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3,5],"tags":[754,762,312,495,763,10],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3978"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3978"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3978\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3984,"href":"https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3978\/revisions\/3984"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beveragewarehousevt.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
