Stoneboat Pinot House Gravelbar Chorus 2016

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Gravel Bar Chorus is an aromatic orchard of fruit stuffed into the glass. Look for melon, peach and green apple flavours with a solid stream of acidity and just a wisp of minerality which calls for another sip. The grapes come off the oldest vineyard, originally planted in 1984. Early ripening schönburger was crushed and de-stemmed then transferred with skins to tank for 48 hours then pressed. Pinot blanc and müller thurgau harvests followed shortly afterwards. Each variety was picked and fermented separately with a long, cold fermentation at 13 C, lasting 3 weeks. Blending took place in early February.Tasted: 06 November 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
