Da Silva Vinho Branco 2020
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOne of the finds of the year, Branco is a mix of pinot gris, viognier, pearl of casaba, and chardonnay off three vineyards: Outwash, Cabana, and St. Rocc. Winemaker Richard da Silva fermented in stainless steel and aged this a short four months, leaving a remarkably fresh, intriguing blend that suits much of the menu at The Kitchen, the patio restaurant at Da Silva that is packing them in. Floral, off-dry, and packed full of white fruit with a twist of ripe apricot and citrus. The label designed by Twyla Da Silva is spot on the money. Look for future versions to contain Portuguese grape varieties as Richard pays homage to the family history.Tasted: 18 August 2021Tasted by: Prices:BC | $24.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
