2022 Pinot Gris

An aromatic and intense Pinot Gris with aromas of pear, honeydew and cantaloupe melons, lemon zest, golden apple, lime leaf, chamomile and honeysuckle. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, and intense flavours of peach and nectarine, Asian pear, honey, lemon zest and mandarin orange.

The grapes for our 2022 Pinot Gris were harvested between October 9 and November 1 from vineyards as far north as Summerland and as far south as Osoyoos. This vintage highlights the character of wines made in the South Okanagan Valley. A small portion (15%) of the juice was fermented and aged (3 months) in barrel, providing added richness to the wine from lees stirring. The other 85% was fermented in stainless steel (aged for 3 months) before being blended with the former and aged in tank for a further 2 months.

Pair this with chicken thighs baked with sliced mandarins and white wine or ceviche prawns.
