Jason Parkes Customs Crown + Thieves Gewurztraminer DOC Guernsey 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaEvery wine has a story, but few can top this gew from Jason Parkes. The fruit is grown by the family vet on a small, two-acre overlooking the lake at Summerland. Parkes claims there would be hell to pay if he upset the vet, so two, old, French puncheons were conscripted to store the wine on its lees for 10 months, with daily stirrings. The thing is, it’s bone dry, so rather than sipping it on the patio, pull out the roast chicken, or an onion tart, and prepare to be stunned. Floral, dried apricot, orange, pepper, ginger and more. It’s a bit geeky, but in a good, real wine way.Tasted: 06 April 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $29.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private retail, restaurants |
