WineScores' Review

Slick, expressive, gorgeous.
This is Granbazan's flagship wine, which comes from 35+ year old vines in the Salnes Valley. Located seaside Bodegas Granbazan is a stunning neoclassical building covered with blue tile and shows strong Indian influences. I visited the estate in 2017 and after walking under its pergola vines, truly fell in love the wines.
There is a purity and expressiveness with the Granbazan wines and this golden goddess features peaches, mango and yellow plum aromas atop honey and wildflowers after the rain. It is concentrated yet juicy with gorgeous stone fruit and honey flavours. Slick and bouncy, it boasts an energetic lemony finish.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.

We do not share your email address with anyone. Your email address will be used for the WineDiva newsletter You can opt out of receiving the newsletter anytime.
