2022 Pinot Gris

Pinot Gris has quickly become one of the staple varietals of Rosehall Run, as well as the Prince Edward County region. Our initial planting of Pinot Gris in 2001, located in a small area of our North Block, affectionately referred to as The Toy Box, represents some of the oldest Pinot Gris vines in PEC. These initial experimental plantings proved to be a success, and a more substantial planting of Pinot Gris was done in our West Block during 2013. Pinot Gris has taken well to the difficult County climate and is fast becoming one of most consistent bottlings in our portfolio.   Our estate Pinot Gris is sourced from the 1.5 acre planting in our West Block, along with our initial 2001 test planting. As is usually the case, our 2022 Estate Pinot Gris kicked off our table wine harvest for the season and completed on September 18th. The yield was modest compared to previous harvests; approximately 2.1 tons of fruit were picked at ideal ripeness and immediately moved to our winemaking facilities for de-stemming and pressing.
