Naramata Bench, B.C.
Aromas of mandarin, grapefruit, apricot, and perfumed peach over a lactic base. Flavours of white peach floods the palate along with ripe pear, tangerine, anise, and ample savoury salinity that lingers long. Dry, textured, and bright — with a distinctive light copper/peach hue from 36 hours of skin contact.
This is one of BC's truly iconic wines — grown on 12–27 year old vines planted in granite, shard, loess and glacial till, sustainably farmed with minimal intervention throughout. They were doing skin-contact Pinot Gris long before it was trendy.
