Backyard Vineyards Social Pinot Gris – A delicious Pinot Gris from the fertile backyard of Vancouver
Pinot Gris is the most commonly grown white grape variety in British Columbia. The grapes for the Backyard Vineyards Social Pinot Gris come from some of the best sites in the Okanagan Valley. The growing season in 2020 made it possible to harvest earlier than usual, but with a higher degree of ripeness. Three separate batches of Pinot Gris from different vineyards were fermented at cool temperatures (13-15 degrees Celsius) in stainless steel tanks. After a few months of settling, parts of the three cuvées were blended for the final bottling in spring. The bouquet of this Pinot Gris is characterised by clear, seductive citrus fruit.
And how does the Social Pinot Gris from Backyard Vineyards taste?
The Backyard Vineyards Social Pinot Gris initially beguiles with an intense aroma of honeydew melon, yellow apple, pear and ginger. This is followed by exotic flavours such as papaya, guava and nectarine with light mineral notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and juicy, with fresh, well-integrated acidity. A profound white wine from British Columbia, very elegant and accessible, with a long, slightly flinty finish.
