WineScores' Review

Snappy, dry, clean.
This orange wine made from the white Sicilian Carricante grape, is house in a recycled glass bottle with a recycled paper label and has a cap made from Ocean Bound plastic. It was made by a Sicilian co-operative called Cantine Ermes where it went through spontaneous fermentation and was left on skins for 15 days.
It has a dark golden-yellow hue and aromas of dried wildflowers, honey, peach and melon underscored by Italian herbs and straw. It has notable acidity and a clean mineral character with hints of blood orange and apple flavours. The finish is medium+ length with some texture and a bold snappy element.

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”.
