Quails' Gate Chenin Blanc 2013

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThese chenin vines, nearing 20 years of age, are planted on the winery’s sloping estate soils, rich in volcanic rock and glacial till. A splash of sauvignon blanc ups the herbal citrus acidity ante. Alluring aromas of honey, grapefruit, flint, stone and light lees lead to a creamy palate of herbal meadow flowers, honeycomb, wild grass and tangerine pith, lifted with vibrant acidity and ending with lingering mineral spice on the lengthy finish. We want to see more delicious chenin blanc in the Okanagan – please.Tasted: 14 April 2015Tasted by: Prices:
