2022 Vin Gris Small Lot Series

92 Points - Natalie Maclean
"Some might think that Vin Gris is produced from Pinot Gris grapes with skin contact, however, this one is produced from Gamay Noir grapes sourced from a single vineyard on Summerland lakefront. So unique, it’s barely coral pink in the glass and fragrant with exotic florals; red berry, ripe peach and nectarine flavours, leesy and textured on the palate with a zesty and lingering finish. Very fresh and tangy, Vin Gris 2022 is made with 87% whole-cluster pressed Gamay Noir grapes with 13% made in the saignée method, and essentially bleeds off the juice from the crushed grapes giving it a pretty pink gold colour, fruit concentration, structure and a soft dusty tannin texture. The wine was aged on its lees in stainless-steel tank and neutral French oak barrels." - Natalie Macelan (August 2023)
