Buoyant, tension, dry.
This vintage of Michael Bartier's consistently outstanding pink is differs in composition each vintage and the 2022 is 2% Merlot, 2% Pinot Noir, 45% Chardonnay and 51% Gewurztraminer; the grapes were hand harvested from the home estate Cerquiera Vineyard on the Black Sage Terrace in Oliver, BC and their second vineyard in Summerland.
A light salmon-pink it has earthy notes of tobacco and dried flowers along with tangy red berries, orange peel, quince and citrus. It is dry and juicy shows exotic spice, summer berries and tobacco flavours. Expect tension and texture.
