Vintage & Viticulture
We experienced a relatively mild and dry winter and early spring. Bud break was about 2 weeks earlier and May brought in summer like weather. The rest of the season remained warm and allowed grapes to reach ripeness not seen in a couple of years.
Winemaker's Notes:
Pinot Grigio was given 8 hours of skin contact before fermentation. The wines were fermented separately in a slow cool ferment method which allows the wine to maintain its fruit aromas. The final blend was made after evaluating several lots of Chardonnay.
Tasting Notes:
"We get rave reviews on our un-oaked Chardonnay-Pinot Grigio blend. It’s so versatile, as a refreshing aperitif, or paired with white fish, poultry or salad greens. We love asking guests what flavours they taste in it. Some say orchard fruits, others comment on its melon or citrus nuances."
