Honey, tangy, woven. Discovering a single varietal Semillion in the Okanagan is a rarity, yet this is one of Michael Bartier’s flagship wines. It is precise and racy as expected, but unlike its counterparts in the Hunter Valley, Australia, this one drinks great upon release.
Aromas of straw flowers, lime, beeswax and pink grapefruit are tightly woven with mineral notes. It has just a kiss of sweetness to pop the fruit on the palate; honeyed and zesty is has excellent concentration and a long lip-smacking finish. A perfect partner for seafood, ramen noodles, or pour alongside fresh summer salads.
