Elegant, delightful, mouthwatering. This Winemaker's Series Middle Bench Vineyard Pinot Blanc has long been a favourite.
The 2021 leads with aromas of wildflowers and grapefruit, melon, crunchy green pear, wet stone and lemongrass. Silky on the tongue it's elegant and bright with vibrant citrus and exotic fruit and honeysuckle flavours. Mouthwatering and lengthy, another delightful vintage.

Toasty, tangy, citrusy. This single vineyard Pinot Blanc has long been a favourite; this year it takes on a new profile. Toasted, smoky and yeasty aromas are layered with oak spice, key lime, star fruit and crisp orchard fruits. The palate is very tangy and citrusy with good concentration and length, but it's a little less buoyant that previous examples.

Elegant.

New, complex, mouth-filling.
A new wine for Clos du Soleil, this Pinot Gris is golden in colour with aromas of smoked almonds and honey, golden fruit and clove. It is creamy yet lovely with good complexity and obvious oak contact. mouth-filling and balanced, it's a good addition to the portfolio.

Stylish, pristine, juicy.
Made from Pinot Gris grown in the Whispered Secret Vineyard on the cooler south side of the Similkameen Valley, this outstanding white was slow fermented (one month) in a mix of stainless steel tanks and barrels, and French oak puncheons. It was then matured for three months on fine lees.
Sweet Bartlett pear aromas are woven with fresh mountain stream, yellow apples, starfruit and pomelo. Golden fruit lines a pristine palate and there are savoury undertones. Juicy and elegant, slick and stylish--an expressive wine, and of the best Pinot Gris' coming out of BC.
