Laughing Stock Vineyards Amphora VRM +15/10 2014
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaYear two of the Enns amphora project is another notch up the quality ladder taking us back to how wine was made a thousand years ago. Fermenting VRM (viognier, roussanne and marsanne) in terracotta clay amphorae is showing a lot of promise. The grapes come off sites in Osoyoos and the Black Sage area in Oliver. Picked the same day the juice and skins were fermented naturally in two 500L clay Amphorae. In all the juice and skins were left in the clay pots 75 days. The style is rich and fat with clean honey. Almond nougat notes to match its honey orange tinted colour and orange blossom notes. The finish is soft and long with ginger and baked pear notes. Warm rich and complex and finished under a glass stopper in nifty short antique bottle. Wine club only better get in line for next year.Tasted: 05 August 2015Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $24.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
