Hillside Heritage Series Muscat Ottonel 2022
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRinse and repeat is the mantra here. Winemaker Kathy Malone does the impossible by doing nothing, but making one critical decision: when to pick. After that, she stays out of the way of a signature Hillside wine with a long history and deep roots in the ethos of Naramata. Muscat Ottonel was planted at Hillside over 30 years ago, becoming the poster child for what old vines are all about. Decades later, a much needed intervention in the vineyard allowed these old vines to express themselves and their Alsace heritage. Floral, spicy, packed with orchard fruit, rosewater, tangerine, and a small bump of residual sugar, this is delicious, especially when you drink it in the sunshine.Tasted: 12 April 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $26.00 | 750ml | winery direct, VQA wine stores |
