We proudly announce the release of our 2005 Pinot Gris, the first of our wines from this highly anticipated vintage.

The aromas invite you with hints of candied fruit (think of pineapple and orange marmalade). The palate crisply displays pear and Malivoire's ubiquitous "Bench" grapefruit with a subtle note of anise on the finish. This Pinot Gris reflects a sunny, dry year. Winemaker Shiraz Mottiar describes the texture as "creamy, silky, and less tart, due in part to the richness of robust alcohol."

Served slightly chilled, this Pinot Gris is an excellent aperitif. Enjoy on its own or with oka style cheese. A superb match for braised veal, pan-fried pickerel, or mussels. For a vegetarian match, try with a white pizza or cheese ravioli.

While adding muscle to the body of the wine, the lower yield from the 2005 harvest reduced our Pinot Gris volume to only half of what we produced in 2004. For more technical details, click on this link to view our winemaker's notes.

Visit the winery in October to view the spectacular fall colours and to taste the first wine of our 2005 vintage.

If you visit the winery this autumn, it's humming with the sounds of sorting, crushing and pressing. Harvest is underway! Our vineyard keeper Dave Crowe, after a hard-working year, has presented winemaker Shiraz Mottiar with a splendid yield of 160 tonnes, an increase of more than 60 percent from last year. A gentle winter and a warm summer with ample sunshine and timely rain have contributed to a bountiful harvest.
