Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Intersection's two-acre block of estate viognier, this was fermented and aged in neutral French oak. It has an attractive, if not overly complex, nose of ripe apricot and subtle lees. The palate is creamy and round, showing the wine’s 10 months of bâtonnage, but the fruit comes across slightly muddled and fades on the finish, leaving you with unintegrated, surprisingly tart acidity. Best to drink now, with only a slight chill.Tasted: 02 September 2019Tasted by: Prices: BC 19.00 winery direct, private wien shops

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRichly perfumed, with a garden of lush florals, this estate viognier was fermented and aged in neutral French barrels for 10 months with regular battonage. The lees work has padded the palate, filling this creamy, textural wine with ripe white peach, apricot, pie crust and perfumed vanilla through to a lingering finish. Very polished, and held to a welcome 13.5 degrees, this is well suited to richer Thai green curries.Tasted: 17 August 2019Tasted by: Prices: BC 19.00 winery direct, private wien shops
