Plot Wines Orange No. 2 2020
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPlot Wines is a new friendly and funky wine collab based out of Kaleden. Their name refers to the partners' (Kevin Rossion and Adam Kereliuk) practice of sourcing grapes from different plots of land across the Okanagan Valley, making an ever changing roster of minimal intervention wines. Pouring a glowing orange hue, Orange no. 2 blends 85% gewürztraminer, 8% muscat ottonel, 7% muscat orange from 3 vineyards in Kaleden and Penticton. This was native fermented with 2 weeks on skins, and was bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulphur. Tight apricot, orange oil, white grapefruit pith skips along a slender palate, textured with a fine buzz via time on skins, though a subtly saline finish. Dry and bright, this medium-bodied orange will have you thinking about brothy and fragrant Thai and Vietnamese soups to partner.Tasted: 19 January 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $30.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
