Nichol Vineyard Pinot Gris 2018
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaClassic orange / peach hue, as familiar as ever, this Naramata Village pinot gris rested on skins 36 hours in open tops fermenters before being pressed for fermentation in old French barriques and two-tonne open top fermenters for a few months prior to bottling, with gentle filtration. Tangerine fuzz, light orange, apricot, light smoked stone stream across the dry, saline, lightly textural palate, finishing with a bergamot kiss. This is never a showy wine, but an intelligently alluring one.Tasted: 22 February 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $23.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
