Township 7 Reserve Benchmark Series Sauvignon Blanc Blue Terrace Vineyard 2021
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaTownships 7’s flagship Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is a super vibrant style leading with big hits of passionfruit and gooseberry on the nose, with more lemon, almond on the palate, finishing with creamy lees. The Loire clone fruit is all estate grown at Blue Terrace Vineyard in north Oliver. Stony soils reflect heat up into the vineyard through the cool fall evenings, allowing the fruit to ripen fully. You hardly notice that it is entirely barrel fermented and aged for seven months, 15% new and 85% neutral French. The rich structure supports various food matches, including local shellfish with a citrus mignonette, balsamic braised Brussels sprouts, or Risotto and bitter greens.Tasted: 21 April 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $26.97 | 750ml | clubSeven exclusive |
