16/20

Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSourced from 50 year old vines planted on the Golden Mile Bench, this sees four days of skin contact, giving this a perfumed, aromatic nose of orange blossom and rose petals, layered with lychee and gold hued apricot. It's well balanced in a surprisingly fresh style, with the subtle residual sugar (7 g/L) helping to balance some bitterness from the skin contact.Tasted: 26 July 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Rust Wine Co Gewürztraminer 2022

Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOff Golden Mile Bench's South Rock Vineyard, and its gravelled fluvial soils, this old vine gew (clone 47, planted 1973) was fermented on skins over 4 days in stainless where it remained for a short stint prior to bottling. Upon cracking the screw cap this has a lot of reductive and vegetal notes, which improve gradually with a good amount of air time. Underneath you'll find some pear skin, white peach, and subtle apricot on a watery palate, with a little rasp of ginger spicing on the warming bitter finish. Perhaps best tied together with lightly spiced and/or sweet & sour dishes.Tasted: 04 May 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSouth Rock Vineyard sits at the southern end of Oliver's famed Golden Mile Bench, British Columbia's first official sub-appellation. The vineyard is home to some of the oldest vines in British Columbia. These clone 47 gewürztraminer ungrafted vines planted in 1973 get four days of skin contact before fermentation in stainless steel. The nose is restrained with quiet ginger and floral undertones that support a dry palate with a touch of skin-contact phenolic bitterness. This sophisticated version of gewürztraminer is best served alongside a favourite curry dish or a South Asian bowl.Tasted: 17 March 2023Tasted by: Prices:
