Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Amulet pink is a blend of 50 percent grenache, 41 syrah, and nine viognier grown on the Penticton and Naramata benches in the mid-Okanagan Valley, and fermented in neutral French oak barrels. Post ferment, it rested on its gross lees for 2 1/2 months with periodic bâtonnage. Finally, in early 2022 it was racked from the barrel and blended with a small amount of viognier. This wine has an onion skin tint with an aromatic nose reminiscent of watermelons and blood oranges that spill onto a similar plate mixed with pears, pineapples, and a peppery finish. Food friendly, it was a good match for prosciutto and melons.Tasted: 13 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis year's Amulet rosé blends 50% grenache, 41% syrah (both from Penticton vineyards) and 9% viognier, from Naramata Bench. The grenache was whole cluster, while the syrah was destemmed; both underwent a long, cool ferment in neutral French oak (no MLF) with 2.5 months aging on lees with bâttonage. When it was racked from barrel, the small amount of viognier was blended in, and all was filtered before bottling in February 2022. Tropical and fruit forward, with juicy slick watermelon, candied apple, ripe pear, and ample warming peppery spice and dried sage along a just off-dry palate. Enjoy this riper, fuller style with rich mushroom canapés and / or paté.Tasted: 24 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:
