  Grassy and a bit oaky on the nose. Fresh and juicy with somewhat sweet fruit flavours of apple and gooseberry flavours with a hint of toasty oak. The finish is tart but refreshing. Excellent with stri fry.

  Drank at VJ's in Vancouver, BC. My first BC wine experience, too. This one went great with the Indian food. Quite pretty aromas of passion fruit, melon, and papaya, with a very light mineral tinge. Very pretty nose. The palate shows the nice off-dry character, some of the tropical fruits, but mainly some light minerality and nice acid. The acid carries into the finish with some minerals and very light fruit. Kind of trails off a bit, and I do wish it was a bit more intense in its acidity, then this would be really special.

  Pale straw yellow. Crisp citrus entry with a hint of lanolin & lingering gritty pear. Nevertheless somewhat simple. Good enough patio sipper but somewhat dubious QPR.
