Up-front aromas of citrus and tropical notes precede a zesty grapefruit and lemon-edged palate with good texture and bright acidity before a clean, refreshing end.
A sense of elegance on the nose with notes of creamy pear, apple, melon, butter and vanilla cream. This is a comforting Chard on the palate with a creamy texture that highlights rich poached pear, lovely oak spices and lively acidity to keep it all balanced.
Straw coloured with a leesy, apple, lemon-peel nose and a light floral note; medium-bodied, dry, fresh and lively on the palate. Apple and lemony flavours with good length. Great value.
Orchard and stone fruit on the nose with bruised apple skin before a peach- and plum-toned palate with moderate acidity and a fruity end.
The 2016 version of this natural, skin-fermented Vidal is the best one yet. The nose shows orangy-tangerine and citrus notes, but the true beauty is on the palate, a zesty, tangy citrus bomb with orange peel on a textured frame. The tannins are more evident in this version, providing structure and dimension that all leads to a long, lingering finish. Strange and beautiful.
The wine shows citrus, mineral and bracing acidity and is a great example of the drier style of Riesling that more BC producers have moved towards and are comfortable with producing. This is also an indication of the growing maturity of the BC wine industry and the acceptance of the consumer of this style.
Pretty, very pale straw in the glass; citrus and apple notes before a quite plush and well-textured palate with a little zesty edge in the close.
