Description
This Sauvignon Blanc from the Black Sage Bench is a fine demonstration of the diversity offered by the Okanagan Valley. A portion of the 2018 was fermented in French oak, which will add touches of smoke to the pear, grapefruit, tropical fruit and grass tones. Give this a go with grilled prawns or chicken.

Tasting Notes
A portion of this Sauvignon Blanc sourced from the Black Sage Bench spent six months in French oak, with the rest seeing only stainless steel. Expect grassy, herbaceous flavours, with tropical fruit, apple, mineral and a fresh, lively acidity. It will be perfect with shrimp or freshwater fish. (July 18, 2019)
