Dames White 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIn a year when most let the sugar run away, ‘rookie’ winemaker Mireille Sauve took the lean and streamlined view with her blend of pinot blanc, riesling and gewürztraminer. Gently scented with white florals and styled with streams of lemon, bitter melon and pithy grapefruit, it sets up well for seafood. There are some bitter grapefruit notes in the tart finish but all in all this wine is Dame fine. The white, and its red partner, were created to benefit Les Dames d'Escoffier and scholarship programs for women in the BC food and beverage industry.Tasted: 14 November 2016Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
