Unsworth Vineyards Wild Island Auxerrois 2023

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaOnly a few barrels of Auxerrois are made each year. Still, this wild fermented white is a charming wine, offering ripe melon and yellow fruit splashed with lemon, creating a perfect level of acidity that supports but does not overpower. It is an ideal wine for spaghetti vongole or a Margherita pizza, and the best part? It's ready to drink now. The Unsworth Auxerrois vines were planted in the early 1990s at the Zanatta Vineyard in the Cowichan Valley.Tasted: 28 July 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
