Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaGolden in hue, with a silken palate carrying pear, orange blossom, baked yellow apple, tight spicing along the snappy finish. The ample honeysuckle lining the palate is lifted with a rise of bright citrus acidity and cut with a welcome slight savoury note. Less sweet than some of its contemporaries, and ringing in at 10.2 degrees, this makes for lovely drinking now.Tasted: 10 February 2019Tasted by: Prices: BC 55.00 375 winery direct, private wine shops

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThey never make a lot of this label at Sperling but we wish they would. It’s the acidity that makes this vidal so intriguing balancing off its rich, tangy peach and orange flavours. It’s not often you want another glass of icewine, and vidal at that, but this is one of the good ones. It should also age well for a decade and beyond but my experience is the fresher younger wines are the most interesting to drink. Well done.Tasted: 07 October 2017Tasted by: Prices: BC 55.00 375 winery direct, private wine shops
