Blue Grouse Estate Ortega 2021
Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaOrtega, a cross between siegerrebe and Müller-Thurgau, is a calling card of the Wine Islands. Most of the grapes in this bottle are from organic estate vines 25+ years, though there are some young estate plantings from 2014 now in the mix. This was whole cluster pressed into tank where it remained on lees for four months (half time on lees), with no MLF. Crisp and dry, with chiseled green apple, gooseberry, tangerine, and a bed of fine downy lees offsetting the chalky, marine fresh acidity. Fresh and pure, this tastes of the #WineIslands, and would be a killer accompaniment to simply dressed shellfish.Tasted: 01 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $25.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
