Lightning Rock Rosé 2022
Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Summerland, this rosé is an enticing mix of berry fruits and herbs. Refreshing with a hint of effervescence, look for fresh strawberries, forest berries, a mix of melons, and intriguing savoury wild dried herbs in the finish. The fruit comes from two estate sites inside the Summerland Sub-GI: Elysia Vineyard, planted in 2006, sits on steep slopes facing east above Okanagan Lake; Canyonview Vineyard, planted in 2003, is on two terraces facing south, with sandy soils and large river stones at the edge of Trout Creek Canyon. Technical winemaking leads to four days of carbonic maceration, ambient/wild ferment, and malolactic fermentation in neutral French barrels. Finally, it is aged for seven months in a mixture of 35/65 neutral French oak and stainless steel. The winery match is a strawberry summer salad with fresh tarragon, burrata and olive oil. Sounds perfect.Tasted: 12 April 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $27.99 | 750ml | BCL Stores |
