Stag's Hollow Albarino Shuttleworth Creek Vineyard 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaStag’s Hollow is providing some real competition for the very fine Terravista Albariño made mostly from Naramata Bench fruit. The difference is in weight and acidity, with the Stag’s Hollow Okanagan Falls fruit showing a tighter, leaner, thread of pear, melon with a citrus, licorice undercurrent. Winemaker Dwight Sick does some partial barrel ferment here in 500L French puncheons but with no malolactic fermentation to keep it fresh. Six weeks' battonage gives it just the right texture to please without overwhelming your palate. A clean, bright version made for local seafood or a Margherita pizza.Tasted: 02 August 2017Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $20.25 | 750ml | winery direct, private retail, restaurants |
