Tinhorn Creek 2Bench White Oldfield Reserve 2016

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRich and full, this blend of sauvignon blanc, sémillon, viognier, chardonnay, muscat was sourced from both the Black Sage and Golden Mile Benches. Weighted with wood, (partial French, partial new is used in ferment), this was blended with stainless steel fermented and matured fruit, in the aim to marry crisp orchard fruit with richer notes. Hops, ripe pear, pear skin, red apple mark a somewhat disjointed palate, one that finishes with a touch of bitter, sour apple and a touch of warmth.Tasted: 24 July 2017Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:
