Lunessence ESV White 2020
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is the inaugural release of an Alsace inspired Gentil blend made with certified organic fruit. The blend is 55/27/18 gewürztraminer, pinot blanc, and riesling. The attack is fresh with an alluring floral mix of tangy primary orchard fruit led by stone fruits, lemon, lime with a dusting of minerality. It is impressive winemaking reminiscent of its Alsace ancestors. Clean, bright, and Summerland fresh, it is a winner. The wine spends five months on its lees, and a full 46 percent is aged in 2nd fill French oak that you don’t notice.Tasted: 11 July 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $24.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops, restaurants |
