Fruits from the Similkameen and the Okanagan, were partially fermented in neutral oak barrels as well as stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aromatics are rich and expressive highlighting white peach, white flowers, fresh apricots, mandarins, and a line of lemon peel. The palate is rich, full bodied, but showing elegance, and surprising acidity, and wonderful texture. It's everything you can expect from a world class Viognier, with great balance. The fruit on the mid-palate are really precise; tons of orchard fruits, beautiful citrus to keep everything lifted, pear and apricot. And then there's the finish. A long, long, chalky finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn absolute beauty! One of the very best white wines from BC that I've tasted in years, outside of a Chardonnay. A holy smokes, rockstar of an incredible wine with a great likelihood of being one of my Top 10 Wines tasted in 2026.
