Blasted Church Sauvignon Blanc 2017
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFeaturing their new labels, the 2017 sauvignon blanc is from their estate, picked in two separate picks. The first was whole cluster pressed before being racked to French oak barrels (23 percent new) for fermentation and lees aging for seven months. The second lot was destemmed before being pressed and fermented in stainless steel. These were then blended and bottled. Bracing, tight, lemony acidity, passionfruit, nettles is buffered a touch with some of that lees and oak, though still shines through to the end. Pithy citrus and guava lingers on the snappy finish. Reminiscent of Kiwi or Chile savvy, but distinctly BC, especially with the label of the naked angel sunning on Vancouver's Wreck Beach.Tasted: 17 September 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $24.00 | 750ml | winery direct, VQA stores, private liquor stores |
