Pinot Gris

Handley Cellars, Anderson Valley, CA

25 reviews

This Gold Medal Winner at the International Canned Wine Competition is an easy-drinker with notes of white nectarine, guava, and lemon zest — a crisp, bright, downright tropical summertime (all-the-time) stunner.

Dry white wine, 100% Pinot Gris, 13% ABV, vegan-friendly, zero grams of sugar.

Meet the wine

Pinot Gris — it’s the same grape as the Italian Pinot Grigio, but with a little French flair. Pinot Gris from the Alsace region of France tends to be fuller-bodied than its Italian counterpart; rich with a little bit of spice. Handley is known for minimal-intervention, food-friendly wines, and particularly for their California spin on Alsatian white wines. Head winemaker Randy calls this wine, “Golden Sun Drops” — think peach and apple blossom aromas with notes of guava, stone fruit, and bright acidity.

Meet the maker

The Handley ladies have been mothering vines, babies, and business since ‘82. Founding winemaker Milla Handley was the first female winemaker in the US to establish a label with her own name. Now she’s passed the torch to her daughter Lulu who runs the winery, and Randy Schock the head winemaker who she worked side-by-side with for 11 years. A beloved name in wine, Handley is known for responsible farming, consistency, and never following the crowds.

High quality in a can!

I really enjoy this wine! Having the occasional glass without opening a bottle, is great for me! High quality in a can, no question this is tasty.

So refreshing!

Chill, crack open the can, let it breathe for a few minutes and enjoy. The Pinot Gris is so crisp and light. Day, but not overly dry. Even with 13% ABV, I felt great the next day. The zero grams of s... Read more
