Production notes

The southern Okanagan has an herbal quality to the air at the height of growing season – sage and antelope brush warmed by the sun. So maybe it’s not surprising that there’s a tell-tale grassiness to this herbaceous-by-nature Sauvignon Blanc. Grapes famously hold a mirror to their surroundings. The fruit is picked early to retain the bright, fresh acidity that shows through on the palate. In the winery, we do several co-inoculations using two yeasts with the intent to drive thiol production in a unique Sauvignon Blanc style, with fresh and intense aromas.

Tasting notes

This wine shows its characteristic sagebrush and lemongrass herbal characters combined with a hint of gooseberry and passionfruit. On the palate, bright acidity and good fruit density drive the wine to a fresh finish.
