2024 Tightrope Slackline Sauvignon Blanc | 90pts

By now you probably know the story: the 2024 vintage is nearly non-existent for most of BC due to a devastating deep freeze, so most wineries sourced grapes from elsewhere. This Sauv Blanc was sourced and carefully supervised by viticulturist and owner Graham O'Rourke from the Yakima Valley, southern Washington State. A New World Sauv Blanc with a rich and ripe fruit profile typical of warm climates. The nose is full of orchard fruits, a hint of gooseberry and grassiness, and the palate displays rich texture balanced with good acidity highlighting flavours of white peach, pear, pineapple and green fruits.  (Carl Boucher, Oct 7, 2025). 577 cases produced.
