Pinot Gris, Niagara, Ontario
Orange wine? Pet nat? Yes, that’s right – the two phrases we cannot ignore right now in the world of natural wine together at last. Local winemakers Paradise Grapevine are quickly garnering a devoted following – from the thirst quenching drinkability of their Zweigelt to the return of their ‘Golden Hour’ Riesling, they are beloved. Devilishly gluggable, week-long skin contact of early picked Pinot Gris for zippy-ness, and with no added sulphur! Fuzzy peaches, citrus zest, nectarine jelly, orchard walks and a dollop of raw saxophone funk. Enjoy with a plate of assorted Quebec cheeses, wearing an ascot non-ironically & getting a dinosaur stick-and-poke.
