Terravista Proyecto Terruño Sparkling Albariño 2024
California, United StatesThis marks one of the first, if not the first, BC winery releases to be sourced from American fruit (as opposed to bulk wine), in this case from Grand Island Vineyard in Clarksburg, California. The fruit was picked and pressed on August 12, before being transported to Terravista for fermentation in a combination of concrete and stainless steel. Made in the charmat method, with an additional four weeks on lees, this is surprisingly soft and creamy, with a combination of perfumed orchard blossoms, pear, tangerine, and green apricot. Nicely balanced in a crisp, off-dry, aperitif style, but with more depth and complexity than you'll often find in the category. Well priced and well made.Tasted: 28 November 2024Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
