Blasted Church Sauvignon Blanc 2017
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAn impressive effort in what turned out to be a warm 2017 vintage after a cool rainy start, remember the floods. The harvest is down twice: a September 20 pick that was whole cluster pressed into 23 percent French oak barrels and left on the lees for seven months. The second pick took place on September 28. The fruit was destemmed, pressed and fermented in stainless steel. There a some sémillon in the mix grown along the Northern shores of Osoyoos Lake adding richness and texture. This must be ranked among the top sauvignons made in BC now. Fresh, bright, herbal with bits of tropical fruit that carry through the guava, citrus lengthy finish. Mussels are a must but most any shellfish will taste better with this wine.Tasted: 17 September 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $24.00 | 750ml | winery direct, VQA stores, private liquor stores |
