A new wine at Closson Chase

March 19 is a special day at Closson Chase.  We’re releasing the inaugural vintage of a new wine varietal – the 2015 CLOSSON CHASE K.J. WATSON VINEYARD PINOT GRIS  VQA Four Mile Creek. 

 

The wine shows a delicate gold hue in the glass. The nose opens with aromatic tropical fruits, floral and honey notes with a hint of black licorice. On the palate, it is clean and steely with mineral and citrus, finishing with crisp acidity and round flavours. The wine was cool temperature fermented at 16 ⁰C in stainless steel tanks for 10 days, then cold stabilized to ⁰C after fermentation. The result a refreshing wine with rich depth. A real crowd pleaser!  We’ll be drinking this wine all summer long.

 

Suggested pairing: pan seared Pickerel with a pan jus au beurre or roast rabbit with roasted barley risotto.
