Peak Cellars Grüner Veltliner 2019
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAfter a long tenure with Howard Soon at Calona/Sandhill, winemaker Stephanie Stanley spent four years working joint harvests as a flying winemaker in Okanagan and New Zealand, immersing herself in cool climate wine production. From part-time to full-time by 2019, Stanley took over the reins at O'Rourke's Peak Cellars. Among its multitude of vines, the estate grows four acres of grüner veltliner fermented and aged in a mix of stainless and oak. I love the way this wine invites you into its palate full of dry, mouthwatering orchard fruits flecked with tangerine and minerals. The acidity pulls it back in line for a clean, crisp, leesy finish. You could finish the bottle before any food arrives, but it only gets better on the table. A year later, it's even better under screwcap.Tasted: 04 March 2021Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $24.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
