Paired it with Latchi Indian food from Penticton while the fires are raging in Christie Mountain. Wines like this make you forget the world around you. What a crazy year you’ve been 2020! — 4 years ago
Apple crisp and apricot and some spice — 5 months ago
On the nose, a faint cherry... On the palate, firm Italian plum, firm red cherry... Very bright up front... Above medium acidity... The finish is again felt primarily up front... Overall, not overly complex, but quite an appealing style. — 2 years ago
Black currant here with maybe a powderier and softer structure than I remember in other vintages. That said, this is such a great wine year after year. If you enjoy it, try getting your hands on their Vulture which is 100% Cab Franc for a similar expression without the merlot to mellow it. — 4 years ago

2021 vintage. 100 % Riesling, Geisenheim clone 21B.
Bright green and pale gold colour.
Ripe white peach lime leaf, floral and hone on the nose with a touch of petrol.
Crisp apple, lime peel, ripe apricot and stone fruit with white honey.
Racy acidity with subtle hints of minerality. A combination of smooth finish with mouth watering ability creating a well balanced Riesling.
Spicy prawns with Sambal Oelek on tha BBQ were fantastic with this wine.
