Hillside Un-Oaked Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis un-oaked sauvignon blanc is grown over glacial till with sandy and gravelly soils on the Naramata Bench. As its name suggests, there is no oak involved, and its fresh, crisp character begins with a short period on skins and stainless steel fermentation. The nose is highly reminiscent of the grassy, green fruit Kiwi style. Bold passionfruit and citrus flow through the mid-palate and finish pure and clean. All the classic pairings will work here, from oysters and shellfish to various goat cheeses, asparagus, and vibrant light spring dishes.
