Pinot Auxerrois, 2022
Shipped and sold by Gray Monk Estate Winery
Winemaking: Pinot Auxerrois grapes were harvested mid to late September from our estate vineyard and from long-standing growers for Gray Monk within the Okanagan Valley [Vernon, Lake Country and Kaleden regions]. The grapes were gently pressed, then fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks for pure fruit expression. Chardonnay (14%) was added to enhance the body and aroma.
Characteristics: This Pinot Auxerrois is clear and bright with aromas of peach, ripe pear, yellow apple, and a touch of mineral. This light to medium-bodied, off-dry, smooth yet refreshing wine has flavours of orchard fruits and honeydew melon. Citrus, apple, peach, pear, and mineral notes linger on the finish. The refreshing acidity balances the natural sweetness.
Food Pairings: A wonderful sipping wine or aperitif. Enjoy with chicken wraps; roast chicken; poached salmon; pan fried fillets of delicate fish; crab salad; fish burgers; sushi; calamari; lightly spiced pork tenderloin; grilled pork chops; lightly spiced curry dishes; brie and baguette.
