TASTING NOTES

Aromatic honey suckle, pear and lemon on the nose – Fandango invites you into its dance. Lemons dipped in honey with a creamy texture and weight from a portion of Albariño from Grand Island fermented in concrete. This satisfying and structured blend of Albariño and Verdejo is a versatile, textured white wine. The blend of the Evergreen Albariño, which has this racy acidity and citrus and a kiss of melon from Verdejo make for a welcomed riff off our own blend of these two Naramata Bench grown varieties. A chameleon, depending on the season and the pairing. 

WINEMAKER'S NOTES

Albariño was hand-picked in the early morning of October 1, 2024 at the famed Evergreen Vineyard in the Columbia River Basin in the Ancient Lakes AVA, Washington. This Albariño fruit was then trucked up by Eric to the winery that afternoon. Gently whole cluster pressed at Terravista, Evergreen Albariño was fermented in stainless steel tanks until bone dry. The Grand Island Albariño as well as the Verdejo portion from Sheep Ranch, were picked on September 3, 2024. Noth were whole cluster pressed, cooled and transported carefully to Terravista Vineyards within 24 hours once settled. Grand Island Albariño has some concrete egg fermentation whereas Verdejo was stainless steel fermented. The three lots were blended prior to bottling to create the first ever Fandango made from Albariño and Verdejo outside of BC.
