2020 Gidda Family Estate Royale (Blanc de Blanc)

EXCLUSIVELY WINE CLUB MEMBERS ONLY

SMALL LOT 122 CASES PRODUCED

Description:

As elegant as they come. This dry and complex bottle of bubbles is sure to reward with intense aromas and flavours of biscuits, applesauce, unripe white peaches, and lemon juice on the long mineral driven finish.

The Story:

In 1978, Sarwan Gidda and family planted our first grapes in West Kelowna. Each wine in this single vineyard, cellar worthy line-up has been picked from the highest quality single block of fruit at each of our proprietors' homestead sites. The wines were then guided with care in the cellar by Winemaker Daniel Bontorin to showcase the unique terroir that they, like us, have been raised on.

Perfect Pairing:

Pairs well with celebrating the royalty in your life, those special people that deserve to know how much they mean to you. Ideal with oysters, fried chicken, and life's special moments.

VH Gidda Family Estate Royale

What a great addition to the VH lineup - a one-block Blanc de Blanc. This one shows a nice pale yellow colour similar to chrysanthemum tea. Only a few small bubbles visible but they are there on the palate at the right amount. The nose is fruity and floral with green apple, citrus, and white blossoms. On the palate there is good acidity, just a hint of perceived sweetness to keep in balance, flavours of tart green apple and citrus, good concentration, and a long finish. I think this could have benefitted from an additional 12 months on lees but it is nonetheless a well-made and very enjoyable champagne-style wine, fit for any celebration or just because!

Best dry white wine in the country. I belong to their wine club so get a shipment 3-4 times a year.
