Vitis is an ultra-premium aguardiente made entirely from the “Vitis Vinifera” grapes
grown on the Roza Hills Vineyards in Washington State. Unlike other grape
aguardiente, ours are made to showcase the diversity of the Vitis vinifera grape by
producing singular varietal spirits using the same care and techniques used to make
fine wines. This particular aguardiente was made using Pinot Gris grapes harvested
in the fall of 2013 from our vineyard in Zillah, Washington, and processed into wine
at our sister facility, Silver Lake Winery. After the wine was fermented cool to
preserve its fresh fruit flavors it was brought to our Woodinville facility and distilled
in our Kothe Still, then aged for three to four weeks in tank before being bottled.

p i n o t g r i sPinot gris is a white wine grape variety thought to be a mutant clone of the Pinot noir
variety. Though this grape is normally has a grayish-blue color (gris meaning "gray" in
French), the fruit can range in color from dusty pink, to white, to black. Pinot gris is
grown around the globe, with the "spicy" full-bodied Alsatian and lighter-bodied,
more acidic Italian styles being most widely recognized. The flavors can range from
ripe tropical fruit notes of melon and mango to some botrytis-influenced flavors.
