This is an “orange” or “amber” natural wine made from 50% whole cluster pressed juice from hand-picked estate Gris. It’s wild, no doubt, with a cloudy and illuminated amber colour and aromas of bulk peach, tangerine, melon, mineral, pulpy citrus/grapefruit and some subtle berry notes, but not over the top crazy. And on the palate, wow, what a gorgeous wine, certainly cleaner than any other Canadian amber wine tasted in 2018 with a lovely melange of stone-fruit and citrus flavours with minerals and subtle reductive notes on the dry finish.
