Apãra Barrel-Aged Pinot Blanc Wine Without Boundaries 2023

Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis barrel aged Pinot Blanc presents lime zest and pear, complemented by subtle notes of white flowers. On the palate, it reveals mineral driven pear, sweet lemon, and white peach that persist throughout. The texture is notably creamy, with a finish that displays a hint of salinity. The wine exhibits a French influence, though it might benefit from a slightly drier finish. Overall, this release demonstrates promise and is certainly worthy of attention. The fruit is sustainably farmed, whole cluster pressed, and fermented and aged in neutral French oak for six months.Tasted: 27 June 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
