“Ann Sperling has always pushed then widened the envelope for more natural organic, wild ferment wines in Canada. Her Vision series in B.C. gives her more experimental and holistic tendencies a home. This pinot gris was 95% whole cluster fermented on its skins, drawing out the grape's natural colour and the stemmy orange. It has a generous quite herbal, tea, camphor and dried citrus peel nose. It is medium bodied, notably dry and quite bitter with sharp acids. A very savory (non fruity) wine with good complexity and length. Oh and by the way, it throws a heavy sediment. Tasted April 2020.”
What better wine to have in the summer...even when the weather isn't great, Old Vines Riesling will pick up your spirits! Our first vintage of Dry Riesling from our 1978 planting.
“Refreshing and lovely, made from Perle de Csaba planted in 1934. Aromas of pear, peach, with some hints of stony mineral hint on the palate along with a soft effervescence. A perfect patio afternoon wine, enjoy with some fresh grilled calamari or any seafood appetizer.” 89pts
“There is no dosage in this directly motivational Blanc de Blancs and plenty of potential palate weight with thanks to 30 months spent on the lees. There is something top single-vineyard cru Alsatian about the savoury and searing coolness in this style, as if it were more than just the sum of chardonnay parts, like some hypothetical pinot blanc and perhaps auxerrois. There is some reductiveness, a lovely washed rind cheese, lemon scrape melted into curd and fine bitters. The flavours are really quite lemony tart. Striking really....you have to admire Ann Sperling's "decision based on lees contact time." ... 92 pts
“Honeyed, creamy, vibrant. Vision is one of the new label series by Sperling Vineyards. This golden-hued Chardy doles out sweet peaches and yellow apples, honey and juicy lemony aromas. It is creamy and equally bright with no sharp edges. Honeyed and vibrant with impressive purity and a mineral textured finish. Delicious and lengthy; a notable wine.”
"2018 was an exception year for Riesling so we decided to show it two ways. The DRY version is a mouthful of WOW. Wrapped in our Vision label, you know you can enjoy now or cellar this distinctive wine." Head Winemaker, Ann Sperling
