Phantom Creek Estates Pinot Gris 2023

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOlivier Humbrecht, the legendary Alsace winemaker and biodynamic guru, is the consulting white winemaker at Phantom Creek, and it is his only outside Alsace consult. We are still awaiting the wild, stony Evernden Springs Vineyard in Similkameen to make it to this wine. In the meantime, Humbrecht has shaped his best effort in 2023 from Okanagan grapes. His unrelentingly slow fermentation techniques have produced a subtle, fresh style with acceptable intensity and length but without the heavy Alsace notes. Typically floral and fragrant, it's an intriguing mix of citrus, pear, litchi and croissant that is hard to resist. The added minerality and electricity are much appreciated here. Drink or hold, there is no rush. Excellent value.Tasted: 07 September 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
