2018 Brut
TIME
Penticton, BC
$34.99
A classic blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from vineyards in Oliver (Phantom Creek) and Kelowna (Kuipers). This wine has a beautiful delicate copper hue and medium-light intensity. The nose greets you with delicate notes of stone fruit, citrus, brioche, and toast. Good balance with a creamy texture and mouth-filling mousse. The flavours follow the nose and end with a medium-long finish. The wine was fermented in neutral oak barrels with lees stirring for added complexity. TIME to celebrate!
2018 Sauvignon Blanc
Plot Wines
Kaleden, BC
$24.00
This is a new wine to hit the market. Plot Wines does not have a winery yet, but you can contact Aspire Wine Agency to get a list of where they are sold. Plot claims to produce small lot (Only 100 cases of this introductory wine) minimal intervention wines. Look for them to offer an increasing line-up with each vintage. A small addition of two aromatic grapes – Muscat Ottonel and Orange Muscat gives this wine a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’. Pale lemon yellow in colour with medium-light intensity. The nose displays inviting aromas of orange blossom, lime, and delicate sweet spice notes. Good balance. Big fruit on the palate – citrus, green apple and honey followed by a medium-plus finish. This is not your everyday Sauvignon Blanc and is certainly worth a try.
