 Pinot Blanc - Mystic River (132506) - The variety
that gets little respect. Grown throughout the Okanagan, this variety produces
wines of various style. Apple, pear, and orchard fruit dominate this variety.

fermentation is induced. Our Style - Wild Goose loves producing Pinot
Blanc. We do a clean cool ferment resulting in outstanding flavour extraction.
Melon and apple flavours combined with crisp acid and a perfume finish make
this a popular wine with consumers. This wine always wins numerous awards for
Wild Goose.
