Sperling Vineyards Pinot Blanc 2021
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAmazing 40 year old vines are the source of this wine from two sites off the Sperling family estate vineyard. Rising to 420 metres above sea level, the pinot blanc vines are traditionally the last to be picked on the site, leaving them to develop intense flavour. They get minimum skin contact before a stainless steel ferment, yielding one cool, taut, lean white that cries out for food. Reminiscent of crunchy orchard fruits led by green apples and Asian pears, sprinkled in citrus. So clean, fresh, and bright, a creamy pasta or chicken fajitas would work here.
