From their estate vineyard and neighbouring Cowichan fruit, the 2018 Pinot Gris is electric with juicy acidity, lighting up pear, quince, crunchy Asian pear streaming along the slender, stony palate. There’s a lovely balance here, embracing both coastal freshness, and Cowichan sunshine (Cowichan translates to ‘the warm lands’ in the local First Nations language). River stones, grapefruit pith, green apple and joy rocket through this vibrant wine. Wine Islands classic. Consistently fine.
