Fort Berens Grüner Veltliner Extended Lees Contact Red Rock Vineyard 2022

British Columbia, CanadaAn Osoyoos grüner veltliner may sound strange but it doesn’t taste strange. The first release from a 1 acre block within the estate Red Rock Vineyard appears perfectly adapted to producing a fresh, crisp version of this famous Austrian variety. It was fermented in a 70/30 mix of stainless steel and neutral oak. Gooseberry, kiwi, melon, and passionfruit all deliver a lean, slender white pepper affair that joins a tiny amount of grüners that are turning heads in BC. Keep your eye on this one.Tasted: 15 June 2023Tasted by: Prices:
