Quails' Gate Rosé Lucy's Block 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaQuails’ Gate winemaker Nikki Callaway's Lucy’s Block Rosé is named after the Stewart family's grandmother, Lucy Mary Whitworth. It’s a dry rosé with a twist of Provence colouring, made from a 50/50 blend of single vineyard pinot noir and pinot meunier. The grapes come off younger vines from the Westpoint Vineyard in East Kelowna. The colour is spot on in my opinion this year, and so is the wine. The nose is floral with subtle, red fruit nuances that sail across citrus-drenched watermelon and red fruit. Balance, balance, balance. Any number of fresh seafood dishes work here as well as pakoras, chicken kebabs, grilled vegetables and more. A delicious bottle of rosé and one they should consider getting behind.
