Prospect Winery

The Ganton and Larsen Prospect Winery is a tribute to the Okanagan Valley’s rich and colourful history, geography and incredible wines. The wines pay homage to the Ganton and Larsen families; original and longstanding land-owning partners of the winery. The grapes are sourced from vineyards all across the Okanagan Valley, allowing for diversity, consistency and distinctiveness. Each varietal features a gem; a historical place, figure, animal or item from the Okanagan Valley, commemorated by original artwork from local Okanagan artists.

2011 Pinot Grigio

Vintage Report

The season started later than normal with delayed bud burst and precipitation continuing into late spring. Warmer temperatures arrived and our viticulture team performed careful vineyard management ensuring ideal conditions for the grapes. A reduction of yields, canopy thinning and excellent weather followed in August and September which helped grapes to ripen fully. Harvest began on September 26th and ended on November 12th followed by our Icewine harvest on January 18th in Naramata. Initial tastings have revealed gorgeous wines with delightful fruit profiles, lower sugars and balanced acidity.

Tasting Notes

Our 2008 unoaked Pinot Grigio displays a bouquet rich tropical fruit. Nuances of ripe apricot and papaya linger for a rich clean finish.

Food Pairing Notes

Delicious and fruit-forward. This white is ideal for creamy pastas, baked foccacia, and dishes that are lightly spiced – oregano, basil, and rosemary pairings showcase the character of the wine.
