Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaViognier has many faces depending on where it is grown, when it's picked, and how it's made. In this case, goblet-trained trellising has yielded a floral style with medium-rich textures and fruit. It is all fermented and aged in concrete to reveal the fruit and minerality. Look for an open, somewhat perfumed nose featuring orange, apricot with a twist of brown spice. Similar flavours mark the palate, adding nectarine and a dusting of citrus. So youthful, this will improve in the bottle through 2023.Tasted: 12 November 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $30.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
