Blue Mountain Sauvignon Blanc 2017

Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe vines, a mix of tow French clones are now ten+ years old and settling into the site and the wine just fine. The fermentation is with native yeast in a mix of stainless and French oak, the latter adding some weight and mouthfeel if clipping some freshness. Five months in stainless steel, foudre and puncheons builds intensity and richness mixing pears, citrus, white peaches all with a dash of spice. There’s just enough acid to take on fatter seafood dishes or at least those served with a butter sauce.Tasted: 17 September 2018Tasted by: Prices:
