Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIt's no surprise to me that this Gewürztraminer is precise, expressive and well-made. The quality at this East Kelowna winery surges year upon year, and the prices for the estate range are more than reasonable. This heads in the exotic direction with a showy nose of rose and peaches, and a hint of lychee and Turkish delight. There is a honeyed sweetnesss to the aromas which helps prepare the palate for focused stonefruit and orange citrus flavours, and perfectly pitched sweetness. A swell of acidity on the finish keeps everything in balance, fresh and inviting, courtesy of the 2018 vintage which presented a cool, acid-boosting August. As is typical at CedarCreek, there is meticulous winegrowing and winemaking behind each wine. A portion of the grapes were foot-trodden to gently coax out Gewurztraminer's heady perfume, and winemaker Taylor Whelan opted for steel tanks for a cool, aroma-retaining ferment. Chill nicely and pair with a juicy pork chop, or a savoury Alastian quiche.Tasted: 13 March 2019Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaCedarCreek tries to hold gew's exuberance at bay with low yields and a ferment and three months rest in stainless on the lees. This is finished with a sizeable plug of RS, the sugar well supporting the honeyed apricot, white peach, pear, lychee, and fragrant flowers. The finish is warming at 14 degrees, with fresh gingersnap cookie spicing. Best enjoyed well chilled this summer.Tasted: 22 August 2019Tasted by: Prices:
