Emandare Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2017
Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaFrom the oldest savvy vines on Vancouver Island, this estate grown wine is organically dry farmed, and native fermented in stainless, where it held for five months. True to the island, this has bright, tight, shining acidity. Unlike many island whites however, this balances that sharp acidity with a lovely cushion of lees and ripe fruit. Honeydew, subtle honeysuckle, gooseberry and pear blossom on a plump, yet moderate (12.8 degree) palate. Stony richness carries this wine to a lingering, lemony finish. Quite unique, not only for the island, but for BC. Worth seeking out.Tasted: 29 June 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $30.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
