Production Process:
-
Grapes are harvested in the beginning of September. They are hand picked and hand sorted at the vineyard.
-
Grapes are destemmed and softly crushed. The must is cold soaked with its skins for 4-8 hours for a soft pink color extraction. It is then pressed and seperated from its skins.
-
A second, 24 hour cold soak begins, afterwards fermentation begins at a controlled temperature.
-
The wine is then transferred to stainless steel where aging, clarification and body stability concludes.
Food Pairing Notes:
This wine's light, fruit characteristics make it a natural choice for pairing with fresh seafood like salmon, crab or shrimp, and game meats like duck, cornish hens or turkey. Try with Salade Nicoise, melon and proscuitto. Cheeses such as fresh chevre, goat brie, Roquefort, fromage blanc of Mt. Tam triple cream are a delicious pairing.

Katy Carroll Jones was born in Truckee, CA and is the daughter of Russ Jones. Growing up in Truckee, she also became an avid skier, enjoying downhill early in life and then cross country and biathlon competitively. She graduated from Truckee High, and went on to go to college at Gonzaga University. She met her husband while working as a server at Gar Woods (he was the chef at the time). They have a lovely house in Truckee and two gorgeous dogs. She still skis often with the family, and enjoys overlanding and rock crawling in their family Jeep Rubicon. She has grown up in the winery (literally) and for 30 years has had a hand in all aspects of the wine business. She started working full time for Truckee River Winery in 2009, when the "Ranch" was opened on Brockway Road. She was one of the first tasting room associates of the winery. Over the years, her roles and duties increased and she became the first Director of Sales and Marketing, bookkeeper, Event Coordinator and Wine Club manager, among other titles. In 2015, she became the General Manager of Truckee River Winery and in 2017 became the White Winemaker and part owner. She loves making all the white wines, and has enjoyed increasing the white wine program. Her Rose varietals are a point of pride and her Pinot Grigio Rose is a fun and lovable wine for all.
