Delicious blend from BC. More accessible than its Alsatian relatives in its youth. Ginger spice and topical fruit on the nose, med body with white pepper on the finish.

Inspired by Alsace, but unmistakably Okanagan. Only here would this blend be made. Balanced, lush, with a welcome bite of acidity. Joie = happy.

Time to go for the Jeroboam. Can there ever be enough Joie at a wedding shower?

2022 vintage.
Produced in the Alsatian traditional style of Edelzwicker, an aromatic blend.
All hand picked and hand sorted fruit.
50 % Gewurztraminer, 27 % Riesling, 10 % Pinot Auxerrois, 8 % Pinot Gris and 5 % Pinot Blanc.
Bright, shiny straw gold.
Apples, white flowers, ginger and citrus on the nose.
Tangerine, lemon lime, pink grapefruit pith, and honeysuckle flavours.
On the back label of every bottle, they thank all the grape growers by name and location.

Takeout sushi from Minami in Yaletown, so grabbed this at a little wine shop next door. Okanagan white blend that leans towards Riesling. Medium dry, decent acid, lychee-citrus/apple. Gets the job done although sweeter than I prefer. $15 bottle sold for $35. Average wine is expensive in Vancouver.

"aromatic and spicy it combines Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Pino Auxerrois and Muscat."

Never disappointed with this Alsace-inspired blend from Okanagan which includes Gewurtztraminer, pinot blanc, pinot meunier, riesling and a touch of muscat. Not as sweet as one might think. Clearly on the young side but perfect with a steelhead trout.
