Fort Berens White Gold 2014

Lillooet, British Columbia, CanadaWhite Gold is sourced from Similkameen’s Blind Creek Vineyard. The nose is a mix of tropical fruits including guava, mango and pineapple, with lemongrass and citrus notes on top. There is plenty of ripeness here, expressed by flecks of honey on the palate but it is tempered by a dose of stony, citrus, mineral Similkameen notes. White Gold is a selection of the best chardonnay barrels, all barrel fermented and barrel aged for 10 months, but there is no new oak in the mix. A great match for a creamy risotto or an oven roasted chicken stuffed with lemons and rosemary. Good value.Tasted: 15 November 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
