Marionette Sur Lie 2015

British Columbia, CanadaTrue to name, this is a white that has spent time on the lees. In this case, Peachland chardonnay and Armstrong pinot gris were united in a 50/50 blend that was fermented in stainless and then underwent weekly battonage for six months. A lovely creamy mouthfeel carries notes of sour lemon, yellow apple blossoms and quiet pear. Acidity is tart, and at odds with the residual sugar, leaving the whole disjointed and clumsy on the finish.Tasted: 18 December 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
