2008 Pinot Blanc

Crisp and refreshing with lively ruby grapefruit and pineapple flavours that combine for a fresh clean finish. To highlight these vibrant fruit flavours, we chose not to age in oak.

The season got off to a relatively cool yet frost-free beginning with budburst and flowering occuring under ideal conditions. Summer was an Okanagan classic with low humidity and above average heat which continued through October. Crop thinning achieved target yields and outstanding quality in the vineyards. Crush officially started on September 8th, one of the earliest on record, and finished on November 2nd when winter arrived with sub-zero temperatures. An early Icewine harvest on November 28th and 29th was the fitting conclusion to one of the best Okanagan harvests ever. With white wines demonstrating refreshing character and strength and red wines ripeness and depth of flavour and colour, 2006 is a year to remember.
