Reviews and Ratings

Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Peach and gooseberry, with notes highly reminiscent of peach and juicy pear Jelly Belly jelly beans. Floral undertones mix with citrus touches. While tropical, fruity, and ripe, it is bone dry and crisp. Intensely flavoured and aromatic as well as lightly textured thanks to a 15% appassimento content. Peach, grilled pineapple, and citrus on the palate through the finish. Medium body trending towards full, clocking in at 13.9% ABV. Interesting, zesty, and wonderfully food-friendly. Try with mango onion salsa and tilapia.
Melanie Lloyd - Certified Sommelier reviewed this wine as follows:

A vibrant Sauvignon Blanc with mineral and herbal notes and aromas of lychee, honey, and a hint of salt. On the palate, it is medium bodied and crisp with citrus and lychee flavours.

Tasted November 2017
From the Niagara Peninsula wine region, Foreign Affair (2015) is a light-bodied and dry Sauvignon Blanc with fresh-cut grass, green bean and apple flavours wrapped up in a zesty citrus finish. Perfect for steamed mussels or butternut squash risotto. - Community Wine Reviews
