2022 White Meritage
A nod to classic Bordeaux-style white wines, this blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc was fermented and aged in French oak barriques, imparting a broad, rich texture with complex aromas of white peach, zesty grapefruit, orange blossom, and spice.
Viticulture
Farmed by a veteran viticulturist, the Semillon comes from the Osoyoos West Bench, just north of the town of Osoyoos. The Sauvignon Blanc is from our estate Sunflower Vineyard, located south of Oliver in the new Golden Mile Slopes sub-GI.
