Granite Creek Ehrenfelser 2006

Granite Creek Ehrenfelser 2006

After tasting Granite Creek's wines, I feel like we may have left one of the best for last. Ehrenfelser is not a varietal you see very often, and we understand it is planted in BC to suit some of our cooler conditions. This has become Granite Creek's biggest selling wine so far.

We describe Granite Creek Ehrenfelser 2006 as smooth, and not too sweet. The wine has "good legs" which line the inside of your glass and give it a great nose. There are hints of mangoes and peaches. It is a well-balanced white with a long grapefruit finish.

Granite Creek have hit their mark of becoming a BC winery to note, and we look forward to tasting more of them in the days ahead.
