50th Parallel Estate Pinot Gris 2017

Lake Country, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe fruit is hand harvested and whole bunch pressed before it’s cold settled in an oxygen-free environment to up its aromatic expression. The ferment is an 80/20 split of stainless steel / three-year old French oak barrels. The wood adds texture to this exuberant, bright orchard fruit with peach, nectarine and citrus notes. The palate is round and ripe with just the right amount of sweet figgy quince fruit and acidity to bring you back the glass. Salmon, chicken, seafood: it all works here.Tasted: 03 April 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
