Most BC pinot gris is labelled such, but La Stella operates with an Italian motif, thus the use of pinot grigio on the label. More importantly it is a lovely wine – very fresh and vibrant and ‘vivace’. Expect lifted yellow plum/peach, lemon and herbs, with a topical note that hints at lychee. It is medium bodied, very lively, warm and lemony with pleasant bitterness. The length is excellent. value rating: 5/5
