Terravista Fandango 2022
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaNot surprisingly, Fandango is the only albariƱo / verdejo blend in Canada. This year, it's a 40/60 split estate grown on the granitic soils of their estate Lone Hand Ranch Vineyard on the Naramata Bench. This is the first year that verdejo takes the lead in the blend. Each grape was picked and whole cluster fermented separately in stainless, where it aged for 5 months prior to the blend. Fresh green herbs, lemon verbena, green papaya, pomelo lead this zippy, sleek white, nicely padded with subtle lees, and scented with sagebrush on the saline finish. Quite distinct, and worth seeking out. 308 cases.Tasted: 12 July 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $31.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
