Summerhill Pyramid Winery Summerhill Vineyard Grüner Veltliner Demeter Certified Biodynamic 2018

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaTasted alongside the 2017 and 2019, 2018 comes with a deep yellow colour, the trio's darkest. It is Demeter certified biodynamic from seven-year-old vines grown on the estate in south east Kelowna. It was native fermented in stainless steel, 50% with skins, and with minimal sulphur, explaining the early dark colour. The nose opens with tired green apple peel, and pepper, while the palate delivers an oxidative orchard fruit vibe with a grassy almond mineral finish. It is a natural wine, although I would like just a bit more freshness and purity. My advice is to drink it now.Tasted: 30 September 2020Tasted by: Prices:
