Larch Hills Winery 2022 Ortega

Published: April 17, 2024

Ortega is a modern cross of between Muller-Thurgau and Siegerrebe developed for early ripening; and this one from the Shuswap region of British Columbia presents aromas of fresh green grapes, tree fruit and hints of Honeydew Melon and dried Tarragon. It lands bright on the palate with citrus flavors of Meyer Lemon with splashes of Tangerine and Pink Grapefruit that find an exceptional off-dry balance that shows great length on the mid-palate and finish.
