Hester Creek Old Vines Block 16 Trebbiano 2022

Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIf you need more inspiration to try this historical wine, the Hester Creek Block 16 Trebbiano, which dates back to 1968, took a hit last winter from a freak overnight freeze, and it’s struggling to come back to life. The 2022 is a fine rendition of what is a fresh, floral white like no other in the country. Its simple production process begins with destemmed berries and a long, cool, three-month fermentation to preserve all it has to offer. The flavours span green apples and sweet melon with a tangerine, nectarine undercurrent that runs through a dry, palate-cleansing finish. I am a fan of shrimp on the Barbie or even the more delicate BC Spot Prawns. Few wines are as unique as this label in Canada.Tasted: 05 May 2023Tasted by: Prices:
