Maverick Estate Winery Pinot Gris 2013
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe fruit is had picked and whole bunched press 'Champagne' style a small portion is fermented in oak and age on its lees for three months to add some structure and weight to the wine. Winemaker Bertus Albertyn has added 9 percent gewürztraminer. Its touch fresher than last year in our estimation, a good thing, but make no mistake this is a richer pear and lees style gris with some minerality to keep it on track and food friendly. Try this with roast chicken or even turkey. Tasted: 15 December 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $19.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
