Sorpresa Bianco 2022
In Stock
Sorpresa Bianco, meaning white surprise in Italian, is a surprise blend of our estate Frontenac Blanc along with Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon from the South Okanagan. The Frontenac Blanc grapes were hand picked by our family and friends and then gently destemmed and immediately pressed. The racy acidity of the Sauvignon Blanc along with the semi-dry fruitiness of the Frontenac Blanc is aptly balanced with the creamy texture of the Semillon.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Where young Semillon is all lightness and citrus, Sauvignon Blanc is racy in acidity. Frontenac Blanc is mouth-watering and semi-dry with fruity aromatics of tropical fruits. The three blended give rise to flavors of pineapple, grapefruit, and mango as well as honey making it a well-rounded wine as a summer sipper or complement to light seafood choices.
Winemaker Notes
Sorpresa Bianco (Italian for White Surprise) is a blend of our estate Frontenac Blanc along with Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon from the South Okanagan. The Frontenac Blanc grapes were hand-picked by our family and friends and then gently destemmed and pressed immediately thereafter. It was stainless steel fermented and aged. The racy acidity of the Sauvignon Blanc along with the semi-dry fruitiness of the Frontenac Blanc is aptly balanced with the creamy texture of the Semillon.
Food Pairing Notes
This lovely new favorite is great on its own or paired with lightly seasoned seafood, crab cakes, sashimi, or light cheeses. Pan-fried scallops in a light citrusy and creamy sauce are equally as nice. Due to its acidity, this wine pairs also pairs well with salty foods such as prosciutto or simple treats such as potato chips and French fries.
