Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Bella vineyard's gravelled soils, this marsanne spent 8 months in French barrels. White pepper infiltrates this fuller bodied white, seasoning white peach, fragrant pear, exotic ginger and jasmine spicing, rolling out slowly across a subtly waxen palate. Such a spice box, and well used to partner against fuller, fragrant dishes.Tasted: 13 July 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe shift to a drier style continues, and it looks good. The nose mixes orange and nectarines with a lovely bitter undercurrent to keep it all in balance. Look for more dried apricot and peach with a dusting of almonds. It brings a bit more mid-palate weight this year, but remains fresh and complex with no cloying aspects. Perfect for vegetarian dishes and, of course, West Coast seafood. This year, the fruit is all Bella Vineyard, and it spent eight months in French oak barriques.Tasted: 17 April 2023Tasted by: Prices:
