Pinot Gris 2013
Product description
Harvest Notes
The 2013 Pinot Gris is a great expression of Okanagan Valley Pinot Gris. The fruit used to make this Pinot Gris was harvested from our own Blasted Church Vineyard as well as from vineyards in Oliver. As each vineyard location and clone is unique, so are the characteristics that each adds to the blend.
Winemaking
The grapes from each vineyard are fermented separately and only blended prior to bottling. Each tank is carefully monitored to ensure cool fermentation temperatures are maintained. A wide range of enzymes and yeast strains were incorporated to achieve maximum aromatics in the wine. This year, parcels of Pinot Gris fruit were left on skins from 12 to 24 hours. This process adds flavour, structure and a small amount of colour to the finished wine.
