JoieFarm Sauvignon Blanc Pacific Northwest Edition 2024

Yakima Valley, Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesThe Pacific Northwest Edition label is how JoieFarm chose to differentiate their Crafted in BC (CIBC) wines from the 2024 vintage. From Yakima Valley's Balcom & Moe Vineyard, the grapes were pressed whole berry, chilled in stainless, and transported to the Okanagan Valley winery. Fermentation continued in stainless and neutral French barrels. There's a lovely welcome lees bed to temper the grape's inherent pointed acidity, with more roundness from the 13.9% alcohol buffering the tart white grapefruit, gooseberry, and crunchy green apple. Quite a complete and smart example, and one well suited to numerous foodstuffs (think bright Thai or Vietnamese flavours).Tasted: 10 August 2025Tasted by: Prices:
