In The Glass: Montinore Borealis 2011
Wow, what an enjoyable wine! Alluring vibrant aromas of tropical fruits, Key Lime Pie and Apple Jolly Ranchers lead to mouthwatering, fruit forward similar flavors, ending in a clean, refreshing, dry and well balanced finish with a shot of lime zest. Borealis, The Northern Whites 2011 Willamette Valley white table wine, from Oregon’s Montinore Estate, is a blend of 38% Riesling, 24% Müller-Thurgau, 23% Pinot Gris and 14% Gewürztraminer. The label states, “A Wine To Light Up Your Night.” Indeed, I can’t agree more. Priced at $16 dollars, this is worth every penny.
Thanks Julia! We acutually did some blending trials of the ’12 vintage today. It is such a fun wine to make!
I’m looking forward to trying it! Is a spring release planned? As you can see, I really enjoyed the ’11 🙂
We plan to release the ’12 vintage in April. Keep and eye out for it. Thanks!
Ohhhh, can’t wait!
