Terravista Figaro 2022

British Columbia, CanadaFigaro has always been a late bloomer with a release date that lags behind most other whites of the same vintage across BC. 2022 is the current release of Figaro, a 70/30 mix of roussanne and viognier. The viognier comes off the Naramata Bench and the Similkameen Valley, while the roussanne comes from an Oliver single vineyard. The roussanne is barrel fermented in French oak barriques and puncheons, mainly neutral with a few second fill vessels. It is stirred for 3 months and left in contact on its lees for another 2 months. The nose is alive, pitching ripe red apples, tangerine peel, and smoky stony notes. More ripe orchard fruits are present on the palate with a hint of ginger adding complexity. This is an impressive wine and one you can age. Thai curries are a good match.Tasted: 28 March 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
