Intrigue Pinot Gris 2016

Lake Country, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaExpect an attractive, bright, salmon/coral hue to this gris. The fruit comes off three vineyards, one in East Kelowna, the second on a West facing slope in Oyama, and the third from Davis Vineyard at the winery. A long season has allowed for perfect ripening and in 2016 a little extra acid which helps to keep this slightly off dry version in balance. Almost a faux rosé there will be plenty of interest in sipping this fresh, brightly flavoured white that mixes strawberries, ripe pear and litchi fruit flavours with a sheen of honey in the finish. The winery suggests serving it with garlic prawns, lemon Greek potatoes, or candied bacon. Bring it on please.Tasted: 21 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
