Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWinemaker Amy Paynter crafts this 1575 case pinot gris that goes to bottle in mid-January after a short time on its lees. The fruit was picked over the last two weeks of September, fermented at different temperatures (20 percent in French barrels), and kept separately until the final blend. The style is Kiwi-cool, with green fruit, a dusting of honeysuckle, ripe peach, and Okanagan sagebrush finishing with a salty, stony, mineral wash. The vines come off many sites, including the own-rooted 457 clones planted on the Allendale site in 1994. Dry and fruity, it can match most seafood dishes from shellfish to seabass to sushi.Tasted: 26 November 2021Tasted by: Prices: BC 21.00 winery direct, private wine shops

Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe fruit for this pinot gris was sourced from Liquidity's Allendale and Lusitano vineyards, as well as the Black Sage Bench. Each lot was fermented separately at a range of temperatures, predominantly in stainless steel, with 20 percent fermented in neutral French barriques with daily bâtonnage. The wine hints at some cool fermentation temperatures, with honeyed peach and pear fruit at the foreground atop pillowy lees. There's surprising weight and breadth to the palate, with an impression of being just off-dry even at three grams per litre residual sugar. Drink now with summer salads topped with grilled chicken or salmon.Tasted: 02 May 2021Tasted by: Prices: BC 21.00 winery direct, private wine shops
