YES, it's back for another vintage and it's from the same vineyard! We received a lucky phone call during crush and were able to get our hands on these grapes we know so well. Unforeseen circumstances indeed, but we couldn't be happier about it.
TASTING NOTES:
If there is a cliché about Rieslings being too sweet, taste this! This wine will make you re-think Riesling. Yes it has the sweetness but instead of being sticky, your nose gets greeted by intense exotic fruit aromas like passion fruit, mango & juicy pineapple. Incredible balanced acidity rounds it up to a textbook Riesling example.
FOOD PAIRING:
Pairs wonderfully with intensely flavoured foods. Our favorites are aged or sharp cheeses - Manchego, Blue Cheese, and Gruyere. The intense fruit in this wine pairs beautifully with spicy dishes as well.
100% Riesling, 100% Estate Vineyard Okanagan Falls with very light, sandy soil.
The vineyard planted in 1985 produces year after year outstanding, clean, and aromatic fruit. The quantity is low but the excellent quality makes up for that. After all, we must grow the flavours in the field, as only from there a great wine can be produced
WINEMAKING:
We choose the picking date by the acidity level and not by the brix level of the grapes. This is very important to create a lively & well balanced Riesling. Ferments only in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks so we can stop the fermentation when needed. And that’s all the intervention we do as the wine making style is pretty much “less is more”. Bottled a few months later, all under screw cap to preserve freshness.
