2024 Estate Grown Madeleine Sylvaner
Fraser Valley, British Columbia VQA
Fresh, elegant, and delicately aromatic, the 2024 Estate Grown Madeleine Sylvaner showcases the charm of this historic European varietal grown in the cool climate of the Fraser Valley. Crafted in a dry style, this wine highlights purity of fruit alongside a refined mineral character.
Fermentation in both stainless steel and new French oak adds complexity and balance—preserving bright aromatics while contributing subtle texture and depth. A short period of lees aging further enhances the mouthfeel while maintaining the wine’s crisp, refreshing profile.
