Giesbrecht is particular about his Pinot Gris and doesn't want consumers to confuse it with the lighter, dock sipper styles normally associated with this ubiquitous grape. 'It's not Grigio,' he says. 'I'm more interested in complexity.' He achieves that here with a later pick, despite the misty, damp fall in 2021. It has a lifted nose with lovely floral notes, poached pear, peach, melon, and citrus. It's rich on the palate with lanolin/beeswax notes, flecks of honey, peach tart, ripe pear, and lemon zest with a fairly bright finish. Score - 90.
