Blue Mountain Pinot Gris

Blue Mountain’s Pinot Gris tends to deviate from the Okanagan’s typically young, fruity, drink-right-now style. Made entirely of whole cluster-pressed Okanagan Pinot Gris from 30-year-old vines. Fermented by native yeast, a portion in stainless steel, the remainder in French oak barrels and aged sur-lie for seven months. A fine, structured backbone of minerality sets this Pinot Gris apart from the rest. Citrus, mandarin orange, and white flower notes on the nose, and dense orange and lemon flavours on the palate, with notes of apple and spice on the finish. This is a wine with intensity, expression, and style to spare, and the potential to age for four to six years.
