Clos du Soleil Winemaker's Series Pinot Blanc Middle Bench Vineyard 2018
Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis pinot blanc comes from Middle Bench Vineyard in the Similkameen Valley. The fruit was whole cluster pressed and then fermented and matured in stainless, with some lees influence to build complexity. Quite restrained and lean, this is all about fresh green pear, lemon, and a slight herbal edge. Bone dry in style, the acid is vibrant, well-integrated, and begging for food. This will appeal to fans of Old World whites, for sure.Tasted: 24 August 2019Tasted by: Prices:
Clos du Soleil Winemaker's Series Pinot Blanc Middle Bench Vineyard 2018
Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOne of the standout pinot blancs in BC, and the 2018 Clos du Soleil follows suit. A light dusting of sage and thyme infiltrates pear, Asian pear, white peach and nectarine, with a cut of green apple acidity to sharpen. From Middle Bench Vineyard, in Keremeos, this was whole cluster pressed before a long, cool ferment and rest in stainless on the lees. Tight, energetic, spiced and bright, this rises blanc far beyond the blah.Tasted: 07 July 2019Tasted by: Prices:
