Unsworth Vineyards Sauvignette Vintners Selection 2015
Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaSauvignette is a proprietary name, used at Unsworth, for the epicure grape variety, a Blattner variety VB2 originally planted in Saanich in the late 1990’s. Sylvie Rochette, owner of Epicure Selections in North Saanich, was involved in providing the land to test the variety and in honour of her support of the Valentin Blattner project the VB2 was named Epicure. In the fall of 2015 this wine is coming into its own in the bottle mixing a tight, fresh acidic structure with some barrel ferment character and delicate, citrus, spicy fruit. Dry and nervy with a whiff of vanilla, it’s a tasty pre-dinner sipper.Tasted: 14 November 2016Tasted by: Prices:Summit Fine Wines
