WineScores' Review

Generous, fragrant, fleshy.
Lunessence launched in 2014 after taking over a property in Summerland and with them they brought a philosophy of biodynamic farming: ergo no pesticides or herbicides. They ideally use only native yeast, no, or minimal fining (only bentonite and time), and very light or no filtration.
Their interpretation of a white Rhone blend (43% Marsanne and Roussane each, plus 14% Viognier) is perfumed with honey and peaches, mango and candle wax, pine, Meyer lemon and exotic spices. Generous stone fruits, waxy citrus and honeyed flavours roll across a concentrated and dynamic palate. It has an voluminous character underscored by balanced acidity.


Pairs Great with Gone Crackers Roasted Shallot & Herb

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”.
