Ponzi Vineyards
Pinot Gris 2023
Willamette Valley
Ponzi, a pioneer in Oregon Pinot Gris, helped establish it as the state’s first quality white grape variety. Their Pinot Gris is aromatic, expressive, and perfect for easy drinking, offering fantastic value with serious pedigree. Sourced from Ponzi’s LIVE Certified Sustainable vineyards, including Avellana, Aurora, and Madrona, as well as select Willamette Valley sites, the Pinot Gris features warm aromas of marmalade, yellow plum, and honeycomb balanced by fresh lemongrass and lavender. The mouthfeel is textured with dried apricot, mango, and vanilla, finishing with bright acidity and salted caramel.

Wine Enthusiast - May 1, 2026 "Ponzi has been making Pinot Gris for 45 years and they are one of the important standard bearers in the Willamette Valley for the noble grape. Their latest Pinot Gris release is among the best from them that I have tried. It smells like an icy-cold lemon granita that has been hit with a touch of powdered sugar. If you love lemon drops, you will revel in this wine's aromas. With elevated acidity and a fresh, crisp texture, the wine's lemon and lime flavors are doubly refreshing." Editor's Choice.

Situated along the Northern ridge of the Chehalem Mountains, the Laurelwood District boasts ancient soils of fractured basalt layered over with a fine, windblown sediment called loess. A decade-long effort by the Ponzis, alongside their neighbors, has resulted in the recognition of Oregon’s first soil-based AVA, the Laurelwood District.

Laurelwood Pinot Noir
Laurelwood District, Chehalem Mountains, Willamette Valley
Dick and Nancy Ponzi helped put Oregon on the map in the United States and the world, and the Ponzi family has worked continuously for over 50 years leading and innovating in the region and, in the case of Pinot Noir, across the country and indeed the world. Today winemaker Luisa Ponzi continues her work of the last 30 years with the family of Champagne Bollinger, which acquired Ponzi Vineyards in 2021. The estate’s drive to create distinctly pure Pinot Noir, in a distinctly Oregon manner, has never been stronger.
