Red Rooster Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe revamped Red Rooster SB comes off two Oliver sites picked at different times. The soils are a complex mix of glaciofluvial rock that helps support minerality and freshness. A small portion of the fruit was fermented wild on its skins to help increase weight and complexity before it is all aged in stainless tanks. The style is finished dry at 1.5 g/L. Look for a bright, fresh opening with subtle orchard fruit and citrus undertones. On the palate, more green apple, gooseberry light up the wine from front to back. It is a refreshing style made for early consumption. Think Margherita pizza, asparagus pasta, or barbecue chicken.Tasted: 27 June 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
