Terravista Fandango 2021
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaNot surprisingly, Fandango is the only albariño / verdejo blend in Canada. This year, it's a 51/49 split estate grown on the granitic soils of Lone Hand Ranch Vineyard on the Naramata Bench. Before blending, the two were picked and fermented separately, whole cluster in stainless. Shaped with driving, nervy lime pith, this is juicy and vibrant, with gooseberry, tangerine pith, and pulpy lime on a sharpened palate. Though medium+ in the body (thanks albariño), this cuts a swath across the palate and would be a welcome partner to papaya salad or Thai green curry.Tasted: 31 July 2022Tasted by: Prices:BC | $29.00 | 750ml | winery online, select private retailers |
