FANDANGO 2019

FANDANGO 2019 - Released May 15!

Our blend of two white grape varieties, Albariño and Verdejo. The only wine of these grapes produced in Canada! Grown at our home vineyard on the Naramata Bench at Lone Hand Ranch. For the first time Fandango has the Sub GI label! 100% Naramata Bench. Tough granitic soils of glacial origin characterize the vineyard. 

TASTING NOTES

Our 9th vintage Fandango is composed of Albariño (61%) and Verdejo (39%), both estate grown at our Lone Hand Ranch vineyard. 

The nose boasts citrus, baked pear, white peach and delicate nectarine. A hint of white blossom and lime accompany. There is an appealing underripe melon and an abundance of fresh stonefruit on the palate, showcasing the Verdejo from Lone Hand Ranch. The mouthfeel is round and luscious, with a long and balanced finish.

Travel to Spain on the Naramata Bench with a Polbo á feira (Galician octopus) or elegantly pair with Garlic Scallop Linguine garnished with citrus zest and cilantro.

WINEMAKER'S NOTES

The grapes were hand picked, gently whole cluster pressed and cool fermented separately. Bench blending trials determined the final Albariño/Verdejo blend from our home vineyard.
