Herder Pinot Gris 2009

British Columbia, CanadaThe Herder gris is 100 per cent tank fermented and sees no oak throughout the ageing process. Winemaker Lawrence Herder is rightfully seeking to reveal the crisp minerality and cool citrus fruits of the Similkameen to offset the peachy tones of the Okanagan Valley fruit. The finish is ripe with just the right amount of honey and creamy lees to balance the wine. Very modern stylish gris that is textbook BC.
