Sourced from two single vineyards in Summerland—Kozuki Family Vineyards and Happy Valley Vineyard—this Pinot Gris was fermented half in neutral French oak barrels and half in stainless steel tanks, striking a beautiful balance between purity and texture. This is a crushable yet structured wine, with seamless edges and a flow that just feels right. It's fruity with a mineral streak, and definitely not your average, forgettable Pinot Gris. On the nose, you'll find aromas of peach, pear, honeydew melon, and a hint of vanilla, with a gentle savoury edge that adds depth and complexity as it opens up. The palate is beautifully balanced, offering flavours of Okanagan peach,  pear, Rainier cherry, and Gala apple, with a spark of white pepper on the finish that stretches the profile and leaves a lasting impression. I’m confident this wine will age gracefully for at least five years—no question. (Carl Boucher, April 15, 2025) 458 cases made
