Culmina Family Estate Unicus 2014
Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaYou'll be forgiven for thinking you're nosing a sauvignon blanc, with heaps of cut grass, bright lychee, exotic gooseberry, white peach and bright lemon peel on this shining grüner veltliner, a rarity in the Okanagan. On the higher elevation Margaret's Bench vineyard, the grape gains freshness and acidity, while absorbing the warm, Oliver sunshine. Ripe, spicy pear, persimmon, pineapple rind, peach, grapefruit, bitter lemon pith, green apple and Asian pear on the super spicy, bracing palate, with the oily palate generously carrying white grapefruit through the lengthy, white pepper finish. Pour this potent (14 percent) medium-bodied wine with halibut or lemon grass prawns.Tasted: 01 June 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $25.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
