The Hatch Gobsmacked Cyclops Love 2018
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 9 year old daughter of Jason Parkes, Hatch owner / winemaker, drew this charming label. This year's Cyclops Love is an aromatic white blend of muscat, pinot auxerrois and gewürztraminer, held in stainless for a short stint to preserve the grapes' fresh, fruity demeanour. Candied lemon peel, mandarin, melon, pear gummies and sweet salami is juiced with lime and kissed with white blossoms. The palate is kept dry and snappy to a clipped finish. Best with a chill, and Thai green curry.Tasted: 06 September 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $19.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private retail, restaurants |
