Fragrant, juicy, zesty.
Blasted Church was established in Okanagan falls 20 years ago. It was named for a mining camp church which was torn down (with the help of explosives) and rehomed to the Falls in 1929. The labels tell many colourful stories.
This classic Bordelais white blend was fermented and aged in a combination of stainless steel vats (70%) and French oak barrels (30%). It's very fragrant and fruity; think gooseberry and peach, honey and green apples, spring flowers and a mix of lime and pomelo. It has a juicy palate and is off-dry and quaffable. It has a creamy edge and a zesty fresh finish.
Pair: shellfish, roast chicken, fresh cheeses or cold noodle salads with some spice.

This cloudy golden-toned skin-contact Savvy, which is part of the Small Blessings tier, was fermented in clay concrete eggs for 45 days then moved to neutral French oak for 8 months.
Expect lemon tea and grass clippings, start fruit and faint lime tones. It's zesty with good purity. It has some angularity and notable texture with a zesty, tea leaf and pithy finish.

Harvested from the estate Redbrick Vineyard on the Osoyoos East Bench, and Crespo Vineyard on the Osoyoos West Bench this 100% Viognier was fermented in oak (25%) and stainless steel. It delivers freshness overall; stone fruits and lemon-lime, honeysuckle and faint spiced biscuit aromas. It's dry and juicy, not flabby as Viognier can get when overripe, has a zesty character overall with yellow fruits and hints of spice. Good length here.
