Vinicultural Society Pinot Gris 2024

The Buena Vista Vinicultural Society, formed in 1863 by the winery’s founder, Count Agoston Haraszthy to further improve its winemaking prowess and expand its vineyards, has been restored as a collection of unique small production wines that honor the winery’s pioneering spirit and contribution to California winemaking. The Vinicultural Society explores clonal selections, varietals and the incredible terroir of Northern California.

The lively bouquet of this luminous white wine bursts with zesty citrus, fragrant honeysuckle, and succulent melon. Medium-bodied, it presents a silky-smooth texture that envelops a harmonious array of flavors, from juicy apricot and lush tropical mango to ripe pear, all elevated by delicate notes of amber-hued honey and a subtle touch of white pepper. The finish is refreshing, uplifting, and elegantly enduring.

The Count identified the Russian River Valley climate and soil as the optimal location within the County for growing quality Pinot Gris. We honor his vision with our 2024 Count’s Selection Pinot Gris. The grapes for this wine were harvested in the very early morning of September 6.
