Amulet White 2019

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis year's Amulet White is a blend of 87% Viognier and 13% Marsanne, from at Kiln House and Kozier Vineyards in Penticton and Naramata Bench. Whole cluster fruit was French oak barrel fermented (20% new) and aged on lees for 6 months with periodic bâtonnage. After a quick dose of sulphur, it was bottled unfined and unfiltered in summer 2020. Ripe and round, this stretches wide and long across the palate, leaving a coating of honeycomb, baked pear, ripe peach, spiced with ample wood, before moving into a marmalade trail through the ginger-warmed finish. A powerful white, almost chewy, and surprisingly only 13.6%. If you're a fan of Rhone whites, please look here. The Diam10 cork asserts this should last for a while.Tasted: 23 August 2021Tasted by: Prices:
