Da Silva Chenin Blanc Hidden Hollow Vineyard 2023
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis chenin blanc is grown in Penticton's Hidden Hollow Vineyard. I love the freshness and the purity of fruit that jumps from the glass. Expect a wash of citrus, green apples, pear, and lime rind that stretches across the palate. It's a perfect wine for shellfish and seafood bites. Richard and Twyla Da Silva run the vineyards, the wine, and the outstanding restaurant, The Kitchen. All has plenty of care and attention. From fruit to grapes to winemaking, the Da Silva family story in the Okanagan began in the 1950s. Here continued the work of their ancestors, who have been involved in farming and winemaking on Portugal's Azores Islands since the 1700s.Tasted: 09 February 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $35.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
