Blue Mountain Pinot Blanc 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaEvery year Blue Mountain reminds us that pinot blanc needn't mean pinot blah. This year's carefully raised blanc is all Okanagan Falls estate vines from two Germanic clones blossoming at 32-years-old. Whole cluster pressed, this was native fermented in stainless and older wood before five months resting on full lees in a mix of stainless, foudre, 500L barrels and older French wood. Expect textural bosc pear, quince, yellow plum and white peach flavour is grounded with nutty lees brightened with lemon pith, which is threaded throughout. It is a beauty now, and will continue to be in your cellar. Well done.Tasted: 21 August 2018Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $17.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private retail, restaurants |
