Fort Berens Pinot Gris 2019
Lillooet, British Columbia, CanadaIt's been fun to watch Fort Berens slowly convert some labels where possible to all estate fruit or BC VQA Lillooet. In the case of the 2019 Gris, it is a mix of estate Lillooet fruit combined with a portion from the Similkameen Valley. It is mostly (90 percent) whole cluster pressed in stainless steel with the remaining 10 percent in barrel. Look for a dry, crisp entry with just a hint of richness in texture, giving it some attractive mid-palate weight. The finish is flecked with pears and melons lightly dusted in spice. A perfect mid-week white for fish tacos or fresh cheese dishes.Tasted: 03 April 2020Tasted by: Prices:BC | $18.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops, Save-onFoods |
