Last House Midnite Négoce Pinot Gris
Details
'Last House is a tiny, family-run project in Prince Edward County that André Gagné started with his wife Debra as he entered retirement. After meeting and chatting with André, one can easily tell that this is a winery built on pure love.
Their Midnite Négoce project is made with grapes grown on the other side of the lake. They apply that philosophy to this Niagara-sourced Pinot Gris with an eye toward the best examples of this grape made in Oregon. The fruit was sourced from Kevin Watson’s vineyard in Niagara’s Four Mile Creek sub-appellation. Fermentation was done in 225 litre oak barrels using a “pied de cuve” wild yeast starter drawn from estate-grown Chardonnay. “This worked extremely well,” said Gagne. The wine was aged in barrel for 11 months and bottled by hand.'
Region: Prince Edward County/Niagara, Ontario
Grapes: Pinot Gris
Tasting Notes: white peach, guava, apricot, nectarine, lemon curd, and an elegant spiced finish.
