Tinhorn Creek Pinot Gris

Tinhorn Creek Vineyards, established in 1993 in the South Okanagan, is one of British Columbia’s well-regarded producers, known for its commitment to sustainability and estate-driven wines. The winery sources fruit from vineyards that benefit from warm days, cool nights, and diverse soils, contributing to both ripeness and structure.

Pinot Gris thrives in the Okanagan’s climate, developing expressive fruit while maintaining natural acidity. The wine is typically fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and aromatic clarity, with little to no oak influence. The style emphasizes balance, texture, and varietal expression.
