Black Hills Alibi 2022

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis final Alibi with semillon in the mix will be the 2022. In 2023, the Alibi label gave way to an all-sauvignon Blanc release so that this final Alibi could become a collector's item. Winemaker Ross Wise has carefully adjusted the blend, favouring sauvignon over sémillon in a 94/6 split. It greets you with delicate, intense aromatics, a dance of classic sauvignon gooseberry, cut grass, and just a hint of the richness of sémillon. It's a refreshing style with fine minerality and a perfect companion for a wide range of dishes. It's fermented in French oak puncheons and barriques with selected and wild yeasts and aged on its lees for six months. This wine will age well into 2027.Tasted: 21 March 2024Tasted by: Prices:
