2008 Pinot Gris Reserve

Tasting Notes: Our classic Pinot Gris was made from luscious fruit sourced from the Naramata and Black Sage benches and fermented in both stainless vats and Hungarian oak barrels, held sur lies for 2 months with weekly battonage. Orange blossoms and vanilla mingle with tropical fruit aromas followed by a rich and supple mid-palate.

Food Pairings: This dry wine is exceptional with creamy pasta dishes, light curries, and savoury cheese and pate plates.

Awards: Gold Medal, All Canadian Wine Championship, 2010 Bronze Medal, North West Wine Summit, 2010

Quotes: 88/100 Anthony Gismondi "Fresh clean floral, ginger, baked pear nose with citrus, lees and light butter aromas. Round, slightly sweet entry with nectarine, ginger, butter, lees, spicy, pear flavours. Juicy if slightly austere finish but with fine intensity. An easy match with West Coast cuisine." Vancouver Sun, June 19, 2010: "Winemaker Kathy Malone is turning the ship around and this Gris with its floral, ginger, baked pear notes and buttery, spicy, pear flavours is a prime example. An easy match with West Coast cuisine."

Aging Potential: This wine is drinkable now and will be enjoyable for several years to come.
