This single-vineyard Chenin Blanc has developed a cult following over the last few years. Freshness, energy, minerality, complexity—this wine has it all.
The Hidden Hollow Vineyard, located on the Naramata Bench, has become one of the premier sources of Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc in the entire Okanagan Valley. The burst of minerality in this wine is likely the main reason for its growing reputation. On the nose, expressive aromas of lemon, lime, honeydew melon, passion fruit, orange peel, and ginger create a seductive and intriguing bouquet—both sexy and compelling. The palate is vibrant and textural, highlighted by flavors of Key lime and meringue pie, layered with notes of orange zest, lemon, and green apple. The long, racy finish is marked by exceptional mineral freshness. This wine will take your breath away! (Carl Boucher, February 23, 2025). 245 cases made.
