LaStellaVivace Pinot Grigio 2014
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPerhaps it was the warm 2014 summer, or the lower than average yield, but this vintage of Vivace, with its gently concentrated, pure-fruited, finessed form, especially impresses. Wild desert herbs, orchard pear, fine lees and lemon zest roll across the textured palate, brightened by crisp green apple tartness and bitter white grapefruit pith. Fragrant melon, subtle meadow blossoms and stones linger on the finish. Lively, dry and elegant, this is a grown up grigio.Tasted: 21 May 2015Tasted by: Prices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private and VQA wine shops |
