Decanter - Moon Curser Touriga Nacional 92 points
We're delighted to see Moon Curser Touriga Nactional '22 rated 92 points in Decanter, tasted by Michaela Morris. It was also in Michaela's 26 top scoring wines in her "Okanagan Valley 2022: A unique vintage in British Columbia" article.
"Exuberant aromas of nutmeg, blueberry pie with toasted crust and candied lilac back the saturated purple hue. The fleshy core of dark cherry and blue plum effortlessly absorbs sweet oak. Tannins are soft but give definition and luscious acidity quenches. A crowd-pleasing red, impossible not to like."
Michaela also rated Moon Curser Roussanne Marsanne '22 90 points.
"While there are subtle notes of toasted nuts and honey, the fragrant, fresh floral fragrances take centre stage. Lavender and orange blossom are joined by cantaloupe in syrup on the palate. Lees stirring augments the smooth, flattering texture. Well-endowed with concentration yet still juicy and refreshing."

Quench - Classic Italian grapes are populating the New World
"...But as Chris Tolley at Moon Curser in the Okanagan Valley points out, “plantings are only as appropriate as the wine is good.” He’s experimenting with Arneis, Dolcetto and Nebbiolo. While Tolley believes Arneis is suitable as it ripens early, likes sandy soils and isn’t too cold sensitive, he calls his two-year old Nebbiolo vines in Osoyoos “our sacrificial planting.” Only time will tell if that grape will be able to fully ripen in the Okanagan’s extreme climate..."
