Highly aromatic Gris with apricot, grapefruit, apple and pear notes. It’s quite juicy on the palate with lovely poached pear, apple, lime and citrus zest through the lively, vibrant finish.
Ontario is producing a lot of blended white wines now and this is one of the best bargains — a mix of Riesling, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer and Sauvignon Blanc. The wine is very pale in colour with an aromatic bouquet of spicy Asian pear. It’s off-dry, perfumed, with an exotic pineapple flavour.
Refined ripe citrus and tropical fruit with a trace of banana and vanilla spiciness on the nose, with delicate citrus and stony mineral in the mouth, finishing with clean refreshing acidity.
Only 7 barrels of this impressive Chardonnay were produced. A medium golden colour leads into a layered bouquet of coconut, butter cookies, honey, anise, golden apple, Bosc pear and white flower. On the palate, it is all about minerality, citrus, spice, toast and green apple melding with high acidity and a long aftertaste. Pair with grilled salmon topped with a herb cream sauce.
The dosage for this wine is Cabernet Franc and Vidal Icewine. Pale pink colour with a nose of red currants and watermelon. Off-dry, strawberry flavour, well-structured with good length.
Fresh stone fruit with exotic floral scent and succulent ripe apricot backed by stony mineral and rich honeyed notes in the mouth. Finishes with bracing acidity and lingering honeyed apricot notes. Demonstrates how well Viognier can do in southern Okanagan terroir.
Spicy Gewürztraminer (38%) and zesty Riesling (30%) take charge on this “Gentil” blend that’s judiciously balanced by Pinot Auxerrois (16%), Pinot Blanc (8%), Muscat (9%) and Schoenberger (1%). Intensely fragrant and flavourful, with a complex potpourri of elderflower, lychee, lime and clove. A perennial joy to drink.
