Blasted Church Vineyards
My last winery visit in Okanagan Falls, before getting back to my visit to the Naramata Bench, is Blasted Church Vineyards. They have very colourful and expressive labels, with a religious bent or Renaissance theme to them, as the winery is located on Parson’s Road.
All their wines are unfined and unfiltered, so some wines may have a dull appearance to them, in particular the red wines. Light, or no filtering, actually is a good thing. Lighter filtering keeps more of the original aromas and flavours in a wine. Heavy filtering can strip away aromas and flavours.
