2025 Brooks Estate Pinot Gris
Our estate Pinot Gris is pale gold, made in a dry style, has sharp acidity with notes of Golden crisp apple, honeysuckle, starburst, and a touch of wet stone. We find it fully deserving of the spotlight. An excellent alternative to fresh, neutral bright whites.
Only 85 cases produced!
Flavor Notes
Brooks has it all — Great story, great people, great wines.
"Peach, kumquot, pear and apple blossom are the stars of the aromatic show on this lovely Gris."
General Manager/Sommelier
"This wine is aromatic and expressive, opening with honeysuckle and geranium alongside ripe yellow pear, cantaloupe, white peach, and a touch of grapefruit and white pepper. The palate is rounded yet fresh, showing acacia, pear, white peach, lemon peel, and golden kiwi. Medium-plus acidity and body give the wine a balanced, textured feel through a smooth, medium finish. "
Senior Tasting Lead
"Pinot Gris can be a challenging variety to pin down. Forever the chameleon (and overlooked), it has a wild range of styles and pairings so it often gets treated like a runner-up to more esteemed varieties than show the runner itself. Our estate Pinot Gris is pale gold, made in a dry style, has sharp acidity with notes of Golden crisp apple, honeysuckle, starburst, and a touch of wet stone. We find it fully deserving of the spotlight. We're sure you will too."

Winemaking Notes
A warm, dry spring kicked off the 2025 growing season early and swiftly, with minimal rain or cool-down periods to slow early growth. A short bloom period occurred in early June and was followed later in the summer by successive heat spikes in July and again in August around veraison.
Sunny days and warm nights continued into early September, setting the stage for a rapid onset of harvest. At Brooks, picking began on September 7th for Rosé, followed by the first red wine grapes arriving on September 10th. The Riesling harvest began on September 26th and extended longer than usual, with the last grapes picked for noble selection on October 8th.
The vintage will be remembered and celebrated for its excellent quality, with high color intensity and concentrated flavors resulting from smaller berries and somewhat lighter yields.
