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:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom their Southern Okanagan estate vineyards, the 2022 Alibi is primarily sauvignon blanc, with 6% sémillon blended in. This was whole bunch pressed, partially native fermented in French puncheons and barriques, where it remained 6 months on fine lees. Tropical pineapple, papaya, and passion fruit leap from the glass, tempered by a cool slick of limey sém. Punchy and energetic, this medium white would well suit an equally exuberant mango salad or Thai salad rolls.Tasted: 02 April 2024Tasted by: Prices:
