Stag's Hollow Winery 2018 Blanc de Noirs (Okanagan Valley) BC
Availability: Direct from winery here
Cost: $25 + taxes
Alcohol: 13.5%
Date Tasted: April 16th, 2019
Tasting Notes: A new-ish trend in the Okanagan Valley is the experimentation with blanc de noir wines, which are white wines made from red skinned grapes. Pressed quickly after harvest with minimal skin contact leaving a (mostly) clear, 'white' juice to the fermented.
The Stag's Hollow version is an off-dry blend of 76% Pinot Noir and 24% Gamay Noir with medium-plus body, texture to spare and a clean, crisp finish. A flavour profile of fresh-off-the-tree peaches and hot apple crumble show on the delicate nose and the well-balanced palate. Delish!
Drink now-2020.
