Ratnip. This oddly named soil performs a minor miracle at Greata Ranch. Our Pinot Blanc grows so vigorously that conventional wisdom would say to drop fruit to intensify flavours. With experience, we discovered if we leave it alone, our Ratnip defies conventional wisdom. We get loads of fruit with fully developed flavours, so we can give you a stellar wine at an affordable price. Here's to Ratnip. All our winemaking decisions get the same attention to detail as the Pinot Blanc does. And the results show in every bottle. On that, you have our word.
WINEMAKER'S NOTES
This classic European varietal is ideally suited to the microclimate of the central Okanagan Valley. Sourced primarily from Greata Ranch in Peachland where the majority of the 2008 Pinot Blanc was harvested. Fermentation was stainless steel.
TASTING NOTES
Aromas of citrus, pineapple, apricot, apple and pear are backed by subtle notes of caramel, butter, honey and toasty oak.
CULINARY NOTES
Recommended with grilled sea scallops, crab, spinach tortellini with a creamy lemon sauce; tuna steaks and pork loin.
