JoieFarm A Noble Blend Okanagan Valley is a gloriously aromatic, medium-bodied white that has become one of British Columbia's most beloved and iconic wines, spinning together Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc, and Muscat from vineyards across the valley into a perfumed, exuberant tapestry of orange blossom, fresh lychee, rosewater, grapefruit pith, fresh tarragon, and a whisper of star anise on the finish. It is dry and beautifully balanced, with a lively, mouth-watering acidity that keeps all that aromatic generosity light on its feet and never cloying. Winemaker Richard Charnock, who joined JoieFarm after a celebrated tenure at Pentage Winery on the Skaha Bench, crafts this blend in the spirit of Edelzwicker, the traditional aromatic white blend of Alsace, a word that translates literally as "a noble blend" and gives the wine its name. A piece of delightful winery lore: the wine was originally created by founder Heidi Noble in tribute to the fact that many of the oldest plantings in the Okanagan Valley are Germanic varieties, making this wine as much a celebration of the valley's viticultural history as it is of its terroir. Serve it well chilled with a fragrant Thai green curry and jasmine rice, where the wine's floral lift and gentle spice will echo the aromatics of the dish beautifully, or alongside a platter of crispy salt-and-pepper calamari with a squeeze of lime for a casual, crowd-pleasing pairing. Drink it young and lively over the next one to two years.

Food pairings: Thai green curry with jasmine rice, crispy salt-and-pepper calamari with lime, Vietnamese-style lemongrass chicken salad.
