Blue Grouse Quill Pinot Gris 2021
Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThe fruit is organic and all Cowichan Valley. The vines are estate and ar enow up to 35 years old. The fermentation mixes French barrique, hogshead (40%), and stainless steel to best show off the delicate fruit. It spends a few months on its lees before all the lots are blended and aged for four months. Tight, juicy, and bursting with minerality, this is another kind of pinot gris, with barely there apple, pear, and litchi with subtle spice of gin and a saline/marine finish. It is on the edge of lean but an excellent edge that will appeal to wine enthusiasts and chefs looking for a food wine with great style. It has lovely balance and drinkability and deserves a better standing than a second label.Tasted: 01 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $21.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
