Screaming Frenzy Pinot Gris 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis gris hails from Kurkjian Vineyard in East Kelowna. Twelve hours of skin contact gives it a slightly more natural edge, as well as less obvious fruit in exchange for a little more texture and dimension. The friar of flavour, as it’s known internally, reflects its location near Father Pandosy’s original vineyard site. The attack is a mix of fresh apple and twang-like acidity with a hint of almonds, earth, and a spicy undercurrent. Not your average fruit bomb, this is a food-friendly gris with dusting complexity. Think mushrooms, eggplant, seafood or cheese.Tasted: 07 August 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $19.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops, restaurants |
