Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaKelowna/Mission District winemaker Anne Sperling has a wealth of experience with organic, biodynamic and natural wines, as evidenced in this skin contact (amber/orange) pinot gris. Strikingly cloudy in the bottle and glass, it's not for everyone but will be admired by a subset of curious wine drinkers looking for something totally different. Whole bunch pressed and fermented dry; it was bottled with no filtering, fining or sulphur additions. It’s mostly about texture with a light oily apricot sheen and peachy tangerine fruit, and as Treve has described correctly, “a rinse of raspberry vinegar on the finish.” An exciting wine for explorers and those who want to get out of their comfort zone.Tasted: 29 March 2020Tasted by: Prices: BC 30.00 winery direct, private wine shops

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis characteristic skin contact (amber/orange) pinot gris pours a cloudy peach hue, reflective of the entirely naturalistic approach to this certified biodynamic/organic wine. Almost entirely whole bunch (95-100%), this was fermented native to dryness and pressed after settling, omitting fining or filtering or sulphuring before bottling, with fine lees. Textural and pointed with apricot oil and skin, white peach, tangerine pith, lime pith, and a rinse of raspberry vinegar on the finish. Quite nervy, tight, and edgy.Tasted: 26 March 2020Tasted by: Prices: BC 30.00 winery direct, private wine shops
