Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Celista is a local winery out of the Shuswap area in British Columbia. The winery also has a few cabins near the lake and features a Winedown Wednesday, as well as other community events including weddings and all manner of celebrations. Here, the atmosphere is calm, relaxed and charming... just like their wines.

Ortega 2022 is clean, fresh and delicate with aromas of ripe stone fruit, white elderflower, nectarine and mandarin zest. On the palate it is off-dry, medium-bodied and palate coating with fresh nectarine, apricot, subtle spicy and mineral notes nicely balanced with fresh acidity and a lingering finish. Tasted August 2024.

Overall, an easy-to-enjoy Ortega, slightly botrytis affected, elegant and refined with all its components balanced and in place. Serve it chilled with seafood or soft cheeses. Produced by winemaker Lee Holand.

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.
