Mouthwatering, charming, honeyed.
Honeyed notes tare woven with orange blossom, pears, peaches and pink grapefruit. The precise palate echoes that with crisp fruit and a mouthwatering finish. It's become drier over the past few vintages, a welcome move, but the wine remains a charming quaffer.

Pristine, pretty, slick.
A fan favourite, and certainly one of mine, Quails' Gate's Chenin is a go-to for BC wine lovers. The 2021 is lashed with pristine aromas of lime and wild flowers, yellow apples, peach flesh, wet stone and a splash of ginger. The palate is just as juicy and pristine as the nose. Mouthwatering and snappy with loads of pretty fruit and tangy lime flavours. Dry and persistent it's a wine that demands more!
