Wine of the Week

White wine blend from the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia

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.
