Le Vieux Pin Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaInspired by the late legendary Loire winemaker Didier Dagueneau, this sauvignon blanc rested 6 months on lees in a mix of 43% stainless, 15% French barrels, and 42% puncheons, with regularly diminishing bâtonnage. Crunchy grapefruit, greengage, and lime blossom are lined with a fine lees bed and shaped with grapefruit rind along a slender palate, finishing with a citrus twist. Very stylish, and moreish. 599 cases.Tasted: 14 May 2024Tasted by: Prices:BC | $31.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
