Blue Grouse Quill Pinot Gris 2017

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThis Quill wine blends Cowichan fruit with Okanagan Valley fruit, fermented separately in stainless and then blended, without MLF and with full intent to make a crisp, bright, lighter wine. This is achieved, in a fully grigio style, with tight yellow and green apples, grapefruit, melon and light jasmine spice. There's a sunny Okanagan cushion mid, but otherwise this is tight and marine-kissed. I'd like to see this migrate to all island fruit in future.Tasted: 25 June 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
