French Door Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrench Door Sauvignon Blanc comes out of Oliver in the southern Okanagan Valley. The latest edition features more picks, less oak, and a lesser amount of acid-flattening malolactic fermentation. The fruit is hand harvested over three different picking dates, balancing the green and ripe fruit to perfection. When picked, the grapes are pressed directly into a 50/50 mix of stainless steel and neutral French oak barrels, searching for balance. As a result, the complexity gets a hand from three different yeasts. The result is a terrific bottle of sauvignon blanc with ripe weighty grapefruit held in line by a beautiful green guava undercurrent. It was made for the rich dishes of summer: grilled salmon, quail, or mushroom pasta.Tasted: 24 May 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $30.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
