While the South is more soft, fruity and mid-palate focused, the North is more about acidity, energy, and the back-palate, with a level of chalkiness that I rarely see in Canada. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWhile I prefer a blend of both, the exercise of tasting each one side by side helps tremendously with my understanding of this terroir at Trail Estate's own vineyard. The nost is about green apple, lime, and a tonne of floral components. The palate is citrus, green apple, and grapefruit zest. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePay attention to the finish.
