We're bringing back our Monthly Picks series to highlight different themes or regions of recently tasted/reviewed wines. Availability notes are listed in the details of the reviews.
For May '22 we are highlighting refreshing white wines for Spring.
SpearHead Winery 2021 White Pinot Noir (Okanagan Valley) BC - $28This white is an absolute gem; rich, refreshing and unique. Made from the winery's signature grape, Pinot Noir, this beautiful, fleshy, Blanc de Noirs can attribute its lack of colour to the limiting of skin contract during the crush. Both full bodied and vibrant with white peach acidity and unctuous fruit characters of honeydew melon and papaya. Pair with a white fish dish or try it at a Mother's Day brunch with your eggs Benedict. Drink now-2022.
Stoneboat Vineyards 2020 Pinot Gris (Black Sage Bench) Okanagan Valley - BC - $20A delicious, effervescent and lively Pinot Gris with the pleasing flavour of sweet, fresh peaches nicely contrasting the refreshing minerality on the (slightly) off-dry palate. Finishes with crisp citrus notes making it a perfect companion to seafood dishes. Drink now-2023.
Spier 2020 Signature Chenin Blanc (W.O. Western Cape) South Africa - $15A crisp, clean and straight-forward Chenin Blanc from the Western Cape with a touch of RS on the refreshing, citrus and exotic fruit flavoured palate and with a generous nose of honeydew melon, Golden Delicious apple, peach pit and macadamia nut aromas. Ready to go now. Drink now-2023.
