We're about to taste Mistaken Identity Vineyard's full selection of whites and their rose tonight And when I say we, I mean a bunch of friends with a variety of wine interest and education levels - from newbies, to interested amateur collectors to a somellier who's starting her WSET diploma. Stay tuned!
Abbondante Bianco
Green fruit and white blossoms on the nose, crisp tree fruit with underlying minerality, lean palate, flavours of granny smith apple, lime zest, lots of acidity, unripe kiwi mid-palate and white grapefruit on the finish. Definitely quaffable. You could drink a ton of this blend on a hot summer day.
Gewurtztraminer
Fairly neutral on the nose with some pear, light lychee, pink grapefruit, very fresh, lots of acidity and green fruit with a bit of sweet ginger and maybe just a hint of smoke.
Pinot Gris
Fresh of freshly sliced pear and pineapple on the nose - refreshing! Lots of acidity again. Lean and green.
Rose
Some floral notes on the nose. This is a crisp summer sipper with its hits of cranberry and strawberry jam.
They've just released a Merlot that was very promising when I tried a barrel sample several months ago, and I cannot wait to try it now that it's ready. These grapes they brought in from a grower in the Okanagan, so think big and juicy. Like all their other wines, the Merlot is organic.
