Summerhill Pyramid Winery Summerhill Vineyard Grüner Veltliner Organic Vegan 2019

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaYou don't see a lot of grüner veltliner, although it seems like a grape that could do well here in the right spot. At Summerhill, it is far enough north, yet this wine has been and remains deeper in colour and richer in texture than what you might expect. The nose is fragrant with some brown spice undertones, but the attack is herbal with citrus, orange, baked pear, and quince running through the palate. More exotic than precise and off-dry, which in itself will generate fans. It is a bit of northern Italy in the arneis or vermentino mould, and definitely would work well with spicy menu items.Tasted: 12 March 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
