Vintage Report
Cooler-than-usual spring weather delayed budburst but was followed by warm and dry flowering conditions, which led to exceptional fruit set in all varieties. Careful vineyard management with precision pruning and crop thinning yielded high quality grape clusters. Harvest began in mid-September and ended the second week of November. The young wines are showing promise with the whites displaying bright fruitiness and refreshing crispness and the reds showing excellent fruit structure and balanced tannins.
Tasting Notes
Our 2008 Pinot Blanc is lovely and refresh- ingly crisp. Lively citrus and tropical fruit notes linger with a clean finish. This wonderfully balanced unoaked wine is very versatile – perfect with or without food your favourite foods!
Food Pairing Notes
The aromatic nose on this wine easily lends itself to seafood pairings. The subtle yet elegant palate is an ideal match for clam chowder, oysters, and mussels.
