The Story
Quail's Gate Field & Flight Pinot Gris is a vibrant and textural white wine that marks a bold departure from the estate’s traditional Okanagan bottlings by sourcing premium fruit from the broader Cascadia corridor. This cross-border blend captures a unique Pacific Northwest character, opening with an aromatic "welcome" of ripe pineapple, white peach, and tropical stone fruit. On the palate, the initial soft fruitiness is balanced by a crisp, citrus-driven acidity that provides a refreshing, mouth-watering structure. Its clean, "puckery" finish and medium body make it an exceptionally versatile food wine, pairing beautifully with fresh BC oysters, grilled poultry, or spicy Thai salads.
