New Vintage! This wine was previously featured in the store, but is back by popular demand!
The first vines on the property were planted in 1985, making them some of the oldest on the Naramata Bench. The current owners, the MacIntyre family, purchased the property in 2001 and have extensively invested in order to increase production from less than 3,000 cases a year to over 10,000.
Being known for more than their wines, Lake Breeze provides and escape in their Naramata, British Columbia winery and restaurant. The winery itself was built in 1996 the winery is named after the winds that blow through the “Narmata Bench Wine Farm” year round.Lake Breeze brings an influence of South African wines. Garron Elmes has been the winemaker at Lake Breeze since it's beginning and was born in Capetown, South Africa. Enjoy this Pinot Gris by 2020 and chill to 8 C.

Soft hay yellow.

Lake Breeze's The Patio restaurant pairs the Pinot Gris with an organic green, cumin seed spiced baby carrots, pecans, goat cheese, grilled apple and brandy vinaigrette salad.
