Au Contraire wines are crafted for those who aim to live life to the fullest, who revel in turning the every day ordinary into something extraordinary. Our wines celebrate the spirit of taking on any challenge in life, no matter how insurmountable it may seem. This irresistible joie de vivre is artfully embodied on each Au Contraire label with a playful illustration that turns expectations on their heads.
The juice is fermented in 100% stainless steel tanks (at temperatures between 63-70ºF) to bring out the clean, fresh nuances of Pinot Gris, primarily with native yeasts. There was no malolactic (ML) fermentation.
Medium lemon color. Layers of floral notes are accented by intense and fresh citrus fruit and a hint of spice. Crisp acidity and a clean, refreshing mouthfeel. Pairs well with a variety of food including salads, appetizers, grilled vegetables, seafood, or white meats.
