Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOrchard Block is a different kind of gew; the textures are soft and creamy, but not sweet. The entry is linear with a lovely lime undercurrent and a lean style. It’s the delicacy that makes this so attractive and the almost watery texture that keeps you coming back to the glass for more. The source is old 1989 plantings that bright pear and delicate rosewater with a dusting of ginger. A delight to drink and 100 percent Okanagan.Tasted: 11 July 2018Tasted by: Prices:
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:
