Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom 36 year old vines planted across two clones, this pinot gris shows the vibrancy of the 2022 vintage, with bright Asian pear and lemon, accented by delicate orange blossoms, creamy lees, and balanced, high quality oak spice after aging in a combination of foudre (20%) and puncheons (52%) alongside stainless steel (38%). In true Blue Mountain fashion, it's all about restraint and elegance, with a depth and texture that elevates this well above your average gris. Excellent value.Tasted: 23 July 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis pinot gris stands out with ripe peach and mandarin, accompanied by a delightful blend of orange peel and ginger spices. It's notably more expressive and ripe compared to the typical Okanagan pinot gris, offering subtle yet inviting spiciness and a hint of creamy richness. Aged on the lees in foudres, it gains weight and depth, unquestionably showcasing its gris character rather than grigio. Nice length with pleasant pithiness.Tasted: 06 November 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada2022 is year 36 at Blue Mountain and is a good one for pinot gris. The Okanagan Falls vineyard is planted with two French clones; over the years, the pair appear to have become seamless. The fermentation begins with indigenous yeast in a mix of vessels: foudre, stainless, older French barrels, and puncheons. Citrus-drenched lime pith, creamy lees and a tight complex finish invite you to buy this in numbers. You could age this a couple of years, but why bother it is delicious now.Tasted: 25 May 2023Tasted by: Prices:
