Wine Details
Price:
$13.95 per bottle
Description:
When grown primarily on cool sites in British Columbia, Optima achieves better balance, one reason why awarding winning dessert wines have been made by several wineries. Both Quails' Gate and Domaine de Chaberton have had the good fortune in some vintages to have botrytis and so-called noble rot among their Optima Grapes. This contributes honey and tobacco flavours, adding richness to the aroma and taste of the wines.
