With the emergence of spring comes a desire for a specific style of wine – lively, vibrant and electric juice to match the mood. 

Okanagan Falls Winery Association hosts an annual spring release tasting, showcasing new whites and rosés flooding the market. 

Here were the standouts poured at the recent event that you need to get your hands on:

Play Estate Winery

2017 Moscato

A blend of three clones of muscat, made in a dry, high acid style that is incredibly thirst quenching. Enjoy on its own or pair with your favourite coconut curries. 

Liquidity 2017 Collage

A blend of 39% Gewürztraminer, 22% Pinot Gris, 18% Sauvignon Blanc, 14% Riesling and 7% Chardonnay Musqué, this will be your go to patio pounder – sure to be a crowd pleasing white for all occasions and company. 

Pentage Pinot Gris

Why doesn't more pinot gris embody the vivid style this Pentage example showcases? Your guess is as good as ours. 

Stag's Hollow 2018 Blanc de Noir

A fuller bodied white wine, using two red grapes – pinot noir and gamay. This wine is all about mouthfeel and texture. It's rich but remains fresh, and for that reason will make it an incredible food wine. 

Kraze Legz 2018 Pinot Blanc

Pinot blanc is an incredibly underrated varietal, one that we need to drink more of! This one is no exception, with telltale aromas of cantaloupe and honeydew, while remaining ever so dazzling on the palate.
