Joie Farm 2025 A Noble Blend 750ml

The 2025 is a blend of 54% riesling, 37% gewürztraminer, Ehrenfelser, Oraniensteiner, and pinot gris, with an alcohol content below 13%. The fruit is sourced from various parts of the Okanagan, with each component hand picked, whole berry pressed, and cool fermented separately in stainless steel before blending. It is a dry white wine with classic Germanic notes of rose petals, lychee, orchard blossoms, and a hint of bitter lime zest for balance. Busy, fresh, and easy to enjoy, this wine has a long standing popularity, especially when paired with dishes like Thai green curry, lemongrass chicken, or salt and pepper calamari.
