Bartier Bros. Grüner Veltliner 2021
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis North Okanagan grüner is tipped with 11% chardonnay from Black Sage Bench, all whole cluster pressed and fermented cold, with 4 months in stainless, on lees. The buttery chardonnay buffers GV's inherent steeliness, resulting in a friendly white of green apple, lemon, white peach blossom, and downy lees on a snappy finish. Though I am sadly not getting GV's varietal typicity, this is an easy white to crack this summer alongside fresh veg dishes.Tasted: 15 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:BC | $28.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, restaurants |
