Fort Berens White Gold Reserve 2022
Lillooet, British Columbia, CanadaFrom their Lillooet Dry Creek Vineyard, this was partial whole cluster press, with the remaining half destemmed and crushed after 4 hours skin contact. All was native fermented in 225 and 400L French oak, where it remained aging for 9 months (23% new). Ripe and near tropical, with fragrant white peach, pear, cream, and subtle toasted wood. The silken palate carries this to a gently spiced finish. Quite polished, and one to partner with creamy pastas or butter drawn seafoods.Tasted: 01 September 2024Tasted by: Prices:BC | $31.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, grocery |
