It is a leesy, no skins Pinot Gris from 2024 that Dan made for shepherd Jared Lloyd owner of Naked Grazin, Jared was paid in grapes by a vineyard client for the weeding and fertilizing services of his flock of sheep. Dan paid for the use of Jared's flock by vinifying the grapes. It is low alcohol, but creamy, electric and spicy. It is a wine that I have been following along for the last year. It has become a rather serious wine with a richness and tension that one might associate with a simple Jura Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Lamb Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47945632678075,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0535\/0227\/9867\/files\/SP-shepherds-24-front-web.jpg?v=1781131216","url":"https:\/\/blacklambwine.myshopify.com\/products\/special-projects-shepherds-pinot-gris","provider":"Black Lamb Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
