Pinot Gris Barrel Lot#2 2021

Okanagan Valley

This barrel-fermented Pinot Gris opens with enticing aromas of pear and lemon zest, with a subtle touch of vanilla. The palate is crisp and refreshing, offering vibrant notes of citrus and honeydew, balanced by a smooth, creamy texture.

Vintage Notes

This Vintage started with a warm spring. A Prelude to what would be one of the warmest growing seasons on record in the Okanagan Valley. April, May, and June were warm and dry, and this trend continued through the summer months. The hot dry summer contributed to lower yields, which turned the produced fruit to have exceptional concentration.  
 
Towards the end of the growing season, September was warm and dry, making timing for harvest particularly important to capture the freshness and delicacy of the fruit.
