Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom the organic Secrest Mountain Vineyard, this chardy was whole bunch pressed into concrete (a mix of nico velo and eggs), with a small proportion of hard press juice going into neutral puncheons, where all remained 10 months. The wood gives an extra level of creaminess to the concrete textured palate, bedding sour lemon, honey ale, bosc pear, pear blossoms. There's a tight savoury spice threaded throughout, keeping this more expansive wine buoyant through a lightly warming finish.Tasted: 25 August 2020Tasted by: Prices: BC 26.90 winery online, grocery, VQA and select private retailers
