16^¼/20

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis unique blend of albariño (51%) and verdejo (49%) from Lone Hand Ranch Vineyard on the Naramata Bench opens with delicate orange blossom accented by pear, gooseberry, and lemon. It's crisp, textured, and refreshing, buoyed by a slight spritz, in a style that is serious yet charming, with just a touch of astringency to the finish. The perfect kind of patio sipper, with spot-on balance.Tasted: 28 November 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Terravista Fandango 2021

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA blend of Spanish varieties albariño (51%) and verdejo (49%), this crisp white is the perfect mix of both. Albariño’s pure citrus and stone fruit is here combined with the green herbal notes of verdejo. It shows quite an intense nose of grapefruit and white peach layered with freshly chopped herbs. On the palate, the bittersweet citrus is intensified by mouthwatering zesty tanginess. A wine that offers immediate pleasure.Tasted: 27 January 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Terravista Fandango 2021

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFandango is an unusual 51/49 split of albariño/verdejo grown on the Naramata Bench estate Lone Hand Ranch vineyard. The grapes are fermented separately in stainless steel before blending. The first impression is tart. The attack is awash in lime rind without a stitch of sugar. The palate is sauvignon gooseberry-like with more citrus rind than anything else. Technically clean, fresh, and skinny, this wine would be best served with rich, creamy cheeses or a luxurious fish dish to counter the acidity.Tasted: 12 July 2022Tasted by: Prices:

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:
