Wine of the Week
JoieFarm Winery Noble Blend 2025
This vintage of the classic B.C. blend from JoieFarm consists of primarily Riesling and Gewurztraminer, with a pinch of Ehrenfelser, Oraniensteiner and Pinot Gris. White peach, pear and rhubarb aromas introduce a dry, zippy palate that offers vivid lime and grapefruit notes on a bed of piquant, mineral mouthfeel, and a hint of almond on a long finish. Pair with roasted root veggies or rich, chicken dishes, or garden salad.
