Zesty, racy, dry.
Made entirely from select Riesling blocks on the Fort Berens estate in Lillooet this racy Riesling suggests lime and pomelo, white flowers, passionfruit and crunchy peach and green apple aromas. It's dry and zesty with lime, herbal and green fruit flavours, the finish is mouthwatering.

The White Gold is made in the Fort Berens Lillooet winery from Black Sage Bench Chardonnay grapes. It was matured in oak barrels for nine months.
Toasted nuts, honey and browned butter notes swirl around spiced apple sauce. The palate is creamy with spiced butter, toasted oak and citrus.
A bit hollow mid-palate without the concentration, lushness and fruit of the 2010 vintage.

Golden, toasted, creamy.

The White Gold is made in the Fort Berens Lillooet winery from estate Chardonnay grapes, and it was aged in new French oak barrels for 6 months.
It is a rich gold in colour with notes of yellow apples, browned butter, roasted nuts, grilled lemons and plenty of toasty aromas. It is weighty, creamy and spicy in the mouth with attractive potency, balanced nicely by lifted freshness.

Pair: roast chicken, polenta with brown sage butter
