Sea Star Stella Maris 2018
Southern Gulf Islands, British Columbia, CanadaStella Maris translates as Star of the Sea Star, and this is the winery's flagship blend. The blend changes every year, and this vintage is a mix of organically-farmed gewürztraminer, pinot gris, schonburger, and ortega from their Pender Island home estate, plus chardonnay from their newly purchased farm on Saturna Island. Lime, perfumed white blossoms, soap, roses, pear, green apple on a slender, streaming palate, one that finishes with a lingering, warming ginger spice. Not quite sure how / why the addition of chardonnay fits into this aromatic white blend, but this years star lacks the finesse and vibrance of last vintage.Tasted: 20 May 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $20.78 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
