Unsworth Vineyards Pinot Gris Saison Vineyards 2024
Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThe Saison effect reflects a heightened intensity that is balanced by a refined delicacy. The enduring collaboration between Unsworth and nearby Saison Vineyard now spans fifteen years, with both achieving notable maturity. The single vineyard bottling is predominantly fermented in stainless steel, with approximately 10% use of neutral French oak. The resulting style is something I describe as coastal electric, pitching a silky texture, subtle lees influence, a vibrant mineral core, and a fresh mid-palate that evokes saline washed stones. This wine pairs well with shellfish dishes, reflecting the principle that what grows together goes together.
