Clos du Soleil Winemaker's Series Pinot Blanc Middle Bench Vineyard 2017
Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe CdS Pinot Blanc hails from the Middle Bench Vineyard in Keremeos in the heart of the Similkameen Valley. Deftly handled, it gets a gentle whole cluster pressing before a long, cool, fermentation in stainless steel. The process is key to revealing the tightly beaded acidity of the Similkameen that spills across the palate with a wash of ripe pear. Pinot blanc with a personality, flecked with tangerine, litchi, and dusted with sagebrush. It finishes with a touch of sweetness to take down the acidity and take on anything spicy. A delightful bottle and a label whose future is firmly established.Tasted: 04 July 2018Tasted by: Prices:
