Quails' Gate Gewürztraminer Orchard Block 2017

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaLush and full bodied, this rich wine retains its lime-tight and sleek backbone, keeping it from being overblown and blowsy. Indeed, it's more in the Alsatian style, here pitting gew's sweet power with northern Okanagan acidity. From 1989 plantings (on the Stewart family's old orchard plantings), this mid-sweet wine scents pear and white peach with rosewater, gingersnap spicing. Whole cluster pressing adds interest to this fresh, textural white. Well done.Tasted: 15 May 2018Tasted by: Prices:
