Jason Parkes Customs Gobsmacked Grüner Veltliner 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaGrüner veltliner rolls off the tongue of Austrians very quickly and I’m happy to report so does this wine. There’s not a lot of it made in BC. I would vote for more, because it appears to have a personality that is as strong as the winemaker if not stronger. Jason Parkes says his is grown “in the sunny heat that is Osoyoos, making our Grüner more Federspiel than Smaragd." But before you think it's fat and sweet it’s not. Its fresh, even green in a good way, skinny with bright acidity and a touch of pepper. There is no oak, which could mean its geeky, but it’s not. It’s different and perfectly suited to West Coast seafood served solo or with a creamy pasta.Tasted: 18 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $24.99 | 750ml | winery direct |
