Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWhere other BC wineries have selected a proprietary name for their aromatic white blend, Quails' Gate proudly labels theirs by the trio of grapes, however unfashionable (or obscure?) they might be. As in previous years, this is a consistent patio wine, simple and pure but not complacent. Light pear and cherries on the nose before a juicy, light palate of stone fruit, green and yellow apples, anise herbs and lime oil on the finish. Just a lick of sweetness for balance. Pair with tuna or chicken salad.Tasted: 19 February 2015Tasted by: Prices:
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaTypically aromatic with fresh fruit nose flecked with green apples and pink grapefruit. The blend is 45/30/25 chasselas/pinot blanc/pinot gris. The attack is off dry with notes of pears, red apples, more grapefruit and just enough wet stone minerality to keep the sugar in check. You can try this with a spicy fish taco or with a creamy mushroom pasta dish. Impressive quality for the price. All three grapes are hand harvested, whole bunch pressed and cold fermented in stainless steel tanks and fermented separately.Tasted: 15 September 2014Tasted by: Prices:
