Sea Star Stella Maris 2017
Pender Island, Southern Gulf Islands, British Columbia, CanadaStella Maris translates as Sea Star, and this is the winery's flagship white blend. In 2017 this is gewürztraminer, pinot noir, pinot gris, riesling, ortega and schoenburger. Unlike previous years, the 2017 has deftly reined in gew's opulence and shuffled its strengths (rosewater, fragrance, ginger spicing) in amongst the highlights of its blending partners. Pear, lime oil, mandarine, musk melon is woven with tight spicing, lacing green apple, ample minerality through the slender frame to the lengthy, shimmering finish. Wow. If only every "BC aromatic white blend" had this finesse and vibrance. Very impressive, and all in 12.5 degrees.Tasted: 24 May 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $20.78 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
