Black Hills Roussanne 2022
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2021 growing season started slowly, with a cool, damp spring and flowering period. A much drier and warmer July, August, and September turned things around in the vineyard, and that, along with a smaller than average crop, allowed for a warm, dry fall of perfect ripening. The nose is a quiet mix of honey and florals with a hint of lemon curd and subtle spicing. The palate is creamy with ripe pear and more lemon and lees. It is all hand harvested and sorted, fermented wild in a combination of neutral oak puncheons and stainless steel.Tasted: 21 March 2024Tasted by: Prices:BC | $29.90 | 750ml | winery direct and private wine shops |
