Nichol Vineyard Pinot Gris 2020
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is an iconic BC gris, known for its peach hue long before skin contact / orange / amber gris was the it thing. Off their Naramata estate, this gris was gently crushed and left to settle on the skins for 36 hours in open top fermenters. Pressed of the skins with fermentation taking place in a combination of 2 tonne open top fermenters and 5+ year old French barriques. Gently filtered and bottled in February 2021. This year's feels softer and riper than year's past, with mandarin, grapefruit, apricot, perfumed peach over a lactic base, finishing with gentle spicing.Tasted: 01 July 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $23.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
