Sea Star Ortega 2014
Pender Island, Southern Gulf Islands, British Columbia, CanadaOrtega is one of the finer calling cards of the Wine Islands - a coastal, bright, aromatic white grape native to Germany, and a cross between müller-thurgau and siegerrebe. Sea Star's crisp, lively version is an excellent introduction to the grape. Crisp lime, white peach and spring blossoms fill the nose and carry through to the palate, where it is joined by fragrant melon and pink grapefruit pith. Sprightly but concentrated, off dry but crisp, this would be lovely with papaya salad and Thai lime dressed dishes.Tasted: 16 May 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $17.30 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
