The Hatch Life Cycle of a Hobo 2017
East Kelowna Slopes, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWe thought this wine was impressive last year and its nothing less in 2017. Made from thirty-year-old müller-thurgau from a single vineyard in East Kelowna it captures the essence of this early-ripening perfumed varietal that was planted in favour of riesling back in the day when many thought riesling wouldn’t ripen. Love the bright crisp fruit here that frames the wines and keeps it from wandering off at the edges. Peach, apricot and green fruit all combine to give this white considerable intensity before a dry finish. Fun with food too.Tasted: 12 September 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $25.99 | 750ml | winery direct |
