2001 Harper's Row

This dry white is a rich and complex combination of Pinot Gris with Schönburger. It was named for John Harper, a pioneer of grapegrowing in British Columbia, who brought his dream to Vancouver Island, starting a vineyard in 1987 for tissue culture purposes in a partnership which later folded, eventually planting his small dream vineyard in Cobble Hill when he was in his eighties. John and his wife Verna propagated our Pinot Gris vines for us and John used to pop by now and again to ask "So, how's my row doing?" He passed away before the vines bore fruit and we will sorely miss being able to share a glass with him.

Harper's Row was aged in French Oak and is round and smooth with beguiling fruit tones in both nose and palate.

13.2% alcohol. Sealed with a crown cap instead of a cork to better preserve the quality of the wine.
