Sperling Vineyards Amber Pinot Gris Organic 2018

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:
