Terravista Figaro 2021

British Columbia, CanadaFigaro is always a bit behind the other whites (currently 2022s), with its current release of 2021. This year it blends 75% roussanne and 25% viognier, leaving marsanne out of the mix. Viognier comes off Naramata Bench and the Similkameen, with Roussanne off a single vineyard in Oliver, and utilizing a mix of stainless and French barrels / puncheons, with 3 months' bâtonnage. There's a pronounced smokiness to the dense fruit here, with a smouldering stone underlying the ripe white peach, fragrant quince, pulpy lime, and spiced ginger. Certainly the most flamboyant of their portfolio, and one to try with an equally fragrant green curry or coconut rice.Tasted: 12 July 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
