Crowsnest The Nest Prosecco 2019
Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaNow in the second generation's hands, Sacha and Ann Heinecke are shifting the compass on this Similkameen stalwart, 22 years in. This is worryingly labelled "Prosecco", a term which should be used only for the Italian region in which it is grown and made. This frizzante wine is a sweet, lightly fizzy example with smoked and sweet flavours of peach, pear, and orange, though a short finish. Even without the name gaff, this wine needs some work to be a modern and relevant example.Tasted: 19 September 2022Tasted by: Prices:BC | $24.75 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
