See Ya Later Ranch
2007 Pinot Gris
VQA Okanagan Valley

Vinification
The vintage was very consistent and crop yields were low but fruit quality was excellent.
The cool harvest temperature slowed the accumulation of sugars and allowed us to hang the fruit longer and develop more varietal character. the cool harvest temperatures were particularly kind to Pinot Gris.


Winemaking
These Pinot Gris grapes were 50% stainless steel and 50% barrel fermented. The juice spent 8 hours in a cold soak contact with the skins to add flavour and depth. The wine was 50% barrel aged for 6 months in 100% French oak, lending to its smooth, soft flavours.

Aroma / Bouquet / Nose
Fresh peaches, apricots and a hint of vanilla notes tease the senses while an abundance of orchard fruits predominate on the palate. Expect a round, full finish from this wine.

Food and Wine Pairing
Experience the pairing of this wine with salmon baked in a creamy dill sauce. Also beautifully compliments chicken or pork with a light cream sauce. Gruyere, gouda and havarti cheeses make a fine accompaniment.
