Van Westen Vineyards Vixen 2017
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVixen is a late harvest blend, and in 2017 mixes pinot blanc, pinot gris and riesling. The style is generously sweet, in this case almost auslese-like. The nose is candied apple, honey and cinnamon while the palate brings sweet poached pear and honey, and a dusting of brown spices finishing long and weighty. Think about pairing this with an apple/rhubarb fruit crumble or even pumpkin pie.Tasted: 26 September 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $17.30 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops, restaurants |
