Pinot Gris 2009

Pinot Gris really is one of the darling varietals of the Okanagan Valley. It ripens easily and consistently produces an enjoyable, fruit forward yet food friendly wine.

Our winemaking choices for this vintage include whole cluster pressing for a fresh fruit profile and settling the juice with no skin contact. We then fermented 80% in 2 year old French oak barrels for 4 months sur lie with weekly stirring to impart a nice creaminess to the wine.

The result is a wine with a bright kiwi and pineapple nose, luscious notes of honey dew and Fuji apple and enough crisp acidity to provide great balance.

*** 90 Points - John Schreiner - On the palate, there are layers of flavours of ripe pears, melons and apples, with rich weight on the palate, yet with a crisp finish.
