FANDANGO 2023 - New Release April 2024
Naramata Bench Sub GI
This is our 13th vintage of the unique and only blend of 51% Albariño and 49% Verdejo – a much lower crop in 2023 resulted in riper and more complex flavours.
TASTING NOTES
Always an intentional expression of the growing season at Lone Hand Ranch, Fandango 2023 does not disappoint with lemon and pear on the nose, and a long sensual swash of lemon curd, a touch of tropical fruit, grapefruit and blossoms with a long, textured finish. This wine is so versatile! Enjoy now while we have inventory – just over 200 cases made.
WINEMAKER'S NOTES
Albariño and Verdejo were hand-harvested from Lone Hand Ranch and a small crop from our new planting at Naramata Outlook Vineyard and was gently whole-cluster pressed. The Albariño portion was separated into two steel tanks and fermented cool using two different yeasts. Verdejo was also fermented cool in stainless tank – blended and bottled with 51% Verdejo and 49% Albariño.
