Black Hills Aridus 2023
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe latest white wine addition to the Black Hills portfolio is the 2023 Aridus, crafted from a blend of classic Rhône varieties roussanne (46%), viognier (40%), and marsanne (14%). On the nose, it offers ripe florals and peach that transition seamlessly onto the palate, complemented by subtle mineral and slightly bitter undertones that balance the fruit. The wine displays a gentle viscosity without excessive body weight, while notable oak influence adds complexity. This wine is approachable and enjoyable now, offering a smooth, sleek, and refined profile that will appeal particularly to wine enthusiasts seeking something unique.Tasted: 21 April 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $24.90 | 750ml | winery direct |
