Hillside Heritage Series Muscat Ottonel 2020
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMay I repeat last year’s note: "Muscat Ottonel was first in the ground at Hillside over 30 years ago when the winery was among a handful of pioneering farmgate producers. In many ways, winemaker Kathy Malone has taken back the farmgate notion, breathing Naramata into the winery and the bottles. As a result, the muscat received a much-needed intervention in the vineyard, allowing these old vines to express their origin meaningfully.” Now back to 2020. This lovely bottle is so spicy and floral it is reminiscent of Alsace. The theme is delicacy via a rush of just off-dry (8.8 grams residual sugar) apple, peaches, rosewater, and tangerine.Tasted: 02 July 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $26.00 | 750ml | winery direct, VQA wine stores |
