Highlights The blending of these 3 varietals is conducted post fermentation with some residual sweetness preserved to add balance to the acidity and provide weight, texture and freshness. The 10% Pinot Gris added provides lovely pear notes, which bond with the usual fresh fruit salad aroma that this well known blend is famous for. With moderate alcohol and fine balance, this wine is ideal for lighter pairings such as honey roasted pear and endive salad with arugula, candied pecans, Qualicum Blue Claire cheese, and sherry vinegar dressing.
