WineScores' Review

Slick, juicy, harmonious
Located in Summerland, Lunessence (where Luna=Moon + Essence) is a biodynamic estate. There are no pesticides or herbicides used in their vineyards with a focus on natural wines; they ideally use only native yeast, no, or minimal fining (only bentonite and time), and very light or no filtration at all.
This 2022 rose, harvested from the Drachenberg Vineyard, is Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (55/25/20) and the grapes were soaked on skins for one hour to get this stained white. It was then aged 5 months on lees in stainless steel.
Notes of small summer berries mingle with orange blossoms, coconut, vanilla, pomegranate and wild herbs. It's an off-dry pink with flavours that echo the nose. Fresh and fruity with lovely concentration, a silky weight and long smooth finish. Pleasing and harmonious.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
