About the Winery
Gilvesy Pincészet
Hungarian expat Róbert Gilvesy moved back to his homeland from Canada, and began building the Gilvesy winemaking empire on the former Esterházy estate on Szent György Hill. Thanks to years of hard work, the Hegymagas-based facility now includes a modern building complex and about 13 hectares of vineyards, in addition to being the home of the family. The area is shaped by 6 million years old volcanoes, where indigenous and international varieties grow organically.
Robert’s absolute admiration for nature and the terroir translates into an immense respect for the environment. By farming using organic practices, the soils and the vines stay healthy. In the winery, by letting nature take its course without controlling the processes, and using local resources, such as Hungarian oak barrels, Gilvesy promotes and protects the Balaton region.

Gilvesy's estate white blend delivers a fleshy and fruity-savoury expression with notable saltiness, not an easy and simple, fruity entry cuvée by any means, but a wine of real substance and volcanic expression, what we'd call minerality, more serious than the modest price suggests. Length, too, is highly impressive in the category. A sharp buy to be sure. Tasted January 2026.

Hungarian expat Róbert Gilvesy moved back to his homeland from Canada, and began building on the former Esterházy estate on Szent György Hill. This is an effective, different and interesting blend of olaszrizling, pinot gris, riesling and sauvignon blanc. It pours yellow-gold. The nose is lifted with a waxy note, dried flower, caraway and raw turnip. It is light to mid-weight, fresh and balanced with good acidity with refreshing CO2. The root veg flaovurs proceed on the palate. Slightly bitter and pithy citrus on the finish. Excellent length. Tasted May 2026

This gingery pinot gris is perfectly refreshing and engaging. Lightly waxy and just off-dry, it is partially fermented in neutral French oak. Ethereal in texture with lightly honeyed, acacia notes and memorable length. Tasted June 2026.

Clean, mostly citrus fruit leads off the top; the palate is relatively sharp and contained, no wood, decent length and depth. Correct all around. Tasted Blind at the NWACs June 2026.

Medal score at the 2026 National Wine Awards of Canada. Tasted blind June 2026 in Niagara.
2022 Vintage - Featured in Vine Routes
From vineyards located within a warmer micro-territory (called South Bay) in the cooler Prince Edward County appellation, this pinot gris is refreshingly lighter on the ABV (12%/vol.) with a quite noticeably creamy and rich texture to it – largely attributed to malolactic fermentation and cold-stabilization methods. The winemaking team also uses an Alsatian yeast strain and fermented one quarter of the juice in neutral French oak, with the other 75 percent in steel tank. The result is a complex wine, with an intriguing flavour profile, including ripening pear and a freshened mineral characteristic that really sets this apart. I even get the hint of nutmeg that I’m being told to look for in this. Will develop further with a bit more time in bottle, that I am certain of.

Mas Codina
The Mas Codina estate is located in the heart of the Alt Penedès region, comprising of low-lying plains and hills between 250 and 300 metres high.
Until recently, the farm has always grown, and made a livelihood from, cereals, grapes, peaches and vegetables, as well as farm animals. Now, apart from century-old olive trees, all the land is devoted to vineyards.
Mas Codina has been in the same family for generations. They have adopted organic farming practices promoting natural processes and seeking a balanced ecosystem. All because of their love for land and tradition. There are currently 40 hectares of vineyards that are being organically farmed.
Peninsula Vinicultores
Península Vinicultores was founded by two Masters of Wine: Andreas Kubach MW, leads production and Sam Harrop MW directs viticulture. Andreas, raised in Brazil and Spain by German parents, and Sam, a native New Zealander, bring a new-wave, international perspective to the Spanish wine landscape. Andreas believes that in the past century, and notably post-industrialization, Spanish producers have prioritized wines of style, focusing on winemaking and aging, rather than wines of place. This creates what he calls a “ceiling of interest” for terroir. Inspired to change this narrative, he is focusing on small, old-vine plots all over Spain that were either formerly abandoned or are at risk of being ripped out for to plant more lucrative cash crops. The wines also champion local, indigenous varieties traditional to their respective regions and best express site.

Aromatic is the ways of Alsatian white blends, noble and arguably more Edelzwicker than Gentil. Alsace is a place where historically the grape variety is highlighted on the label, more so than the region, but these blends transform that thought. Noble follows that particular tradition with this blend celebrating growers and the places they farm. Comes together just a shade above bone dry, layered with citrus and a side of creamy orchard fruit, from riesling with gewürztraminer, ehrenfelser, oraniensteiner & pinot gris. Profoundly important for B.C. white wine, essential and appropriate, for wherever and whenever a bottle needs sharing. Drink 2026-2029. Tasted May 2026.

It's splendidly ripe and inviting on the nose with poached pear, mango, Gala apple, and warm spice aromas. The palate delivers excellent weight and succulent fruit intensity, beautifully supported by silky texture and fine acidity, finishing delectable and lingering. At its best: now to 2028

There's no mistaking the variety with this wine showcasing flavours of sweet green pears and apple, there's fresh quince and honeysuckle quality, a touch of sweet lager and a fine lees texture. Nice weight and youthful tension along with a satin mouthfeel. Well made with a medium+ acid line. Best drinking from 2023 through 2026. Premium.

Paddy Borthwick knows pinot gris, and completes his assigned task, vintage in, and vintage out. From 2025 there is the added bonus of an extra layer of ripe, very fleshy, and clearly riveting fruit. A substantial pinot gris, bloody delicious and better for it all. Drink 2026-2028. Tasted July 2026.

This is a lightly fleshy pinot gris, with a touch of sweetness, and that characteristic bitterness I associate with this variety. It is cast in the hue of an Alsatian-style pinot gris, with a sense of richness and ripeness. I like the texture of this wine most of all. Engaging flavours of tart orchard fruit and juicy lemons only add to its appeal and linger on the long finish. Tasted July 2026.
