Bartier Brothers 2024 Pristine Sauvignon Blanc 750ml

The Pristine label is how Bartier Bros chose to differentiate their Crafted in BC (CIBC) wines from the 2024 vintage. From McNary Vineyard in Washington State's Horse Heaven Hills AVA, this was harvested at night, destemmed, crushed and pressed immediately, fermented cool in stainless where it remained until bottling. Bright and zesty, with gooseberry, grapefruit, and lime sherbet that hums along the finish. A lick of lees keeps it friendly. Enjoy this summer (and at this price, you can often).
