A lovely, floral BC white wine blend of 60% Riesling, 37% Gwerztraminer, 2% Muscat and 1% Pinot Blanc grapes. Notes of daisies and baking spices. Medium-bodied with balanced acidity. Pair with mild and mediu curries and spicey dishes.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A very pretty and fragrant wine! Blended from 60% Riesling, 37% Gewurztraminer, 2% Muscat and 1% Pinot Blanc. Aromas of lemon-lime, warm spice and a backbone of stony mineral notes. Medium bodied and smooth on the palate, with smooth citrus, a hint of floral and more stony minerality on the finish. Enjoy with spicy ceviche.

90 Points - WineDiva

“This aromatic white blend is mostly Gewurztraminer, and has Riesling, Pinot Blanc and Oraniensteiner ladled in. It has distinct muscat-y notes; it is a fruit cup of peaches and pears, some rose oil and honey with orange blossoms. Like Lunessence's wines tend to be, this one is off-dry but deftly balanced on the palate. Lively, with honeyed concentration it has a weighty character, silky texture and intense full-flavoured finish.”
