Hester Creek Old Vines Block 16 Trebbiano 2019
Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOne of Canada's viticultural wonders is this Golden Mile Bench trebbiano, imported from Italy in 1968. These 50+ year old vines were destemmed and fermented cool in stainless before aging in tank for three months. Intense and direct with honeysuckle, ripe melon, apricot fuzz on a clinically clean palate, slicked with an oilyness that helps this glide easily down the palate to a lightly spiced finish. The best wine of their portfolio, and a true Canadian original.Tasted: 23 March 2020Tasted by: Prices:BC | $20.99 | 750ml | winery direct, BC/AB: private wine shops, restaurants |
