Rocky Creek Pinot Gris 2017
Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaFrom three of their estate vineyards, this year's pinot gris had some extended skin contact - 16 hours - giving it a deeper peach hue and some brisk grip. The back label describes it as "Modern with a pinkish tone: 'termed Orange wine'". After being racked off the skins, this was fermented in stainless with three different yeasts, where it remained until the following April. Tight, brisk and astringent, with light apricot, Asian pear and grapefruit, this finishes short and snappy. Best when it warms in the glass a little bit. One of my favourite wines in their portfolio, this is lovely looking fruit, and I would love a cleaner, purer look in future.Tasted: 25 June 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $20.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
