Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

In its 11th year of operations, this Mom and Pop estate winery was awarded several medals in the 2020 All Canadian Wine Awards Competition (ACWC), with Celista White Cuvée 2019 winning Double Gold in the White Vitis Vinifera Blends catergory. "Cuvée" refers to a blend of more than one grape, or a blend of wine from select vineyards, barrels or tanks.

A pretty, summer white blend of Ortega and Siegerrebe wine grapes with white florals, mild hoppy, hay and soft fresh pear aromas on the nose, Celista White Cuvee 2019 is light-bodied, off-dry with white florals, yellow apple, stone fruit and mango flavours fresh, smooth and comfy on the palate.

Chill and enjoy on its own or with a grilled chicken dish and a mildly-spiced apricot salsa.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
