Winery Spotlight #10- La Frenz
Another recommendation from Colin-
Story: German owners. Really fun staff, reminiscent of Sandra Oh in sideways, Asian girl with incredible wine knowledge and a really fun chatter. She was checking everything that was debatable on her smartphone, which was hilarious and a great person to have around, because I argue a lot. We talked wine and trip with them and tried a selection of their tastables. It was a really nice winery as well, huge doors and two tasting benches along either wall.
Wines:
Tempranillo- The second winery we came across to try this grape in the okanagan, and with favorable results. They actually grow it on another vineyard in Osooyoos, because the climate is more favorable for the grape. Quite a nice wine, but I wish I knew more about how this grape is classically supposed to taste, because I like it alot. Peppery.
Montage- We had a good conversation about this wines name. Its a big ol blend (not their biggest) but had middling qualities about it. I felt it was kinda confused. Lots of berries, but also earth tones and oak tones, so I don't really love it.
On a note about their blends, they have a five grape blend released for the first time this year to the public I believe. Critical acclaim and all that. Pretty interesting side note I thought. Supposed to be a huge wine.
Rose- Light summer sipper, fish comes to mind.
