Orofino PTG 2022
Cawston, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Orofino PTG pays homage to the old French 1937 launched Bourgogone Passetoutgrains, a blend of pinot noir and gamay. 2022 is the second release of the dual co-fermented grapes at Orofino that was fermented wild in open top tanks. Post-ferment, the dry wine was pressed into older French barrels and left on its lees until bottling. It is a fresh fruit forward style with a citrus, spicy, cranberry and cherry, crushed rock demeanour admired by many but straight-up gamay fans. It is a mouthwatering style that requires food to express itself best. Veal cutlets would be a fine match, or a favourite pasta. It's a solid label that could easily become an Orofino staple.Tasted: 07 November 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $25.95 | 750ml | winery direct/online, select private retailers |
