Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA cou[le of years down the road, this wine shows some oxidation but frankly not much more than we saw in 2018. Biodynamically certified, it has a deep yellow colour with notes of volatility, grated almonds, and dried lemons. About as natural as you could want, and ready to drink. A curiosity that is hanging in there. Sablefish is still a good match. The grapes come from estate vines planted in 2011.Tasted: 30 September 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Summerhill Pyramid Winery Summerhill Vineyard Grüner Veltliner Organic Vegan 2017

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis Demeter certified biodynamic GV comes off 2011 planted estate vines, and was native fermented, half in stainless without skins, with the other half fermented on skins, and a very minimal amount of sulphur was used. Quite natural, with a swing of VA and some acetone leading into almonds, lemon, and dried green apple. There's a flush of warmth on the finish, along with some mineral salts.Tasted: 02 October 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Summerhill Pyramid Winery Summerhill Vineyard Grüner Veltliner Organic Vegan 2017

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaYou don’t see lot of grüner veltliner in BC but it’s coming in dribs and drabs and I have little doubt it will establish itself as a curiosity at the least, if not a rarity, worth tracking down. This biodynamically certified white has a deeper colour than I would like but its naturally made and I’m guessing with little to no sulphur. Expect a richer entry with cloudy notes of salt and pepper, citrus and minerality. The palate is dry and weighty with an Italian almond-like bitter finish. Its unique and for a first try worth investigating. One thing is for sure this is the real thing not a lot of intervention. Sablefish might be the best match.Tasted: 12 September 2018Tasted by: Prices:
