Clos du Soleil Fumé Blanc 2016
Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOne of the more singular BC wines this is a 88/12 sauvignon blanc/sémillon from vineyards in both the Similkameen and Okanagan. It spends a little time in oak and thus is a well-managed, fuller white, with racy freshness and a distinct smoked stone character. The sémillon was whole cluster pressed, while the sauvignon blanc spent a few hours on its skins before pressing. They were blended just prior to bottling. Linear and tight with nervy grapefruit laced acids, Asian pear crunchiness and a thick cushion of lees. A thread of smoke throughout, though less so than in previous years, taking back seat to the white asparagus, herbal and lemon thistle notes. A solid food wine.Tasted: 26 June 2017Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $20.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
