Blue Grouse Pinot Gris 2024

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThis is a blend of estate fruit and two off site vineyards: Enrico and Saison. Each lot is harvested and vinified separately to preserve its sense of place and nuance. Fermentation and aging take place in a mix of concrete and neutral French oak. A little known fact is that Blue Grouse Estate is home to some of the oldest pinot gris vines in British Columbia, and that portion of the blend is responsible for the intense minerality that runs through the wine. The nose opens with sweet acacia and candied melon, while the palate is dry and lively, with a wealth of citrus rind and bright acidity that dances across the finish. Shellfish, fresh fish, fish cakes, and fish soup - it can handle it all.Tasted: 24 April 2026Tasted by: Prices:
