Blasted Church Pinot Gris 2015

Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe BC gris is 90 pinot gris with a touch of chardonnay, viognier and gewürztraminer which contributes to this wine's richer palate. A warm year set a record for the earliest harvest at Blasted Church, with most varieties fighting dropping acid while accumulating high sugars. The nose is a rich version of gris with honey predominating. The palate mixes sweet pineapple and super ripe grapefruit that fades into a soft finish. It’s more of a chicken/pork wine this year.
