JoieFarm A Noble Blend 2023
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaNoble Blend is a signature BC aromatic blend. Winemaker Richard Charnock, formerly of Pentâge, has moved from the Penticton Bench to take over the reins at JoieFarm. The 2023 crop was small, but the fruit is intense, mixing gewürztraminer, riesling, pinot auxerrois, pinot blanc and muscat, echoing the Edelzwicker Alsace style. Fresh, bright, and lively, the '23 has a lime spine with yellow fruits on the nose and palate. This is one of the driest examples at 2.92 g/L of residual sugar. It's a summer sipper, but with a slightly bitter finish, it can pair well with various bites.Tasted: 11 April 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $28.61 | 750ml | winery direct, select private wine stores |
