Cám Ơn Pinot Gris is part of Gio Hills Winery's 'cám ơn' (Vietnamese for 'thank you') series, made from grapes sourced from contract farmers on the Mimakigahara plateau in Komoro, Nagano. The series name expresses the winery's gratitude to the growers who supply the fruit and to the drinkers who enjoy the finished wine. As a Pinot Gris grown in this cool, high-altitude terroir, the wine offers a clean, fruit-forward expression of the variety.
A Pinot Gris that quietly reflects Mimakigahara's altitude and diurnal swing — clean, precise, and true to the story of the growers behind it.
