Amazing Riesling with complexity and hints of spice from a bit of aging that will make you spend some time with this wine. The backbone of racy acidity takes no prisoners.

Bright, pale green gold colour.
Peach, petrol, wet rock, nectarine and white flowers on the nose.
Crisp, mouth watering acidity.
Lemon and lime rind. Slate, apricot pit, mandarin and white peach flavours.
The last bunches were harvested in late October only 12 hours before first frost and snow with whiteout conditions.
Old Vines Riesling is aged for 2 years in the bottle before release.

2010 vintage.
Tantalus has some of the oldest Riesling vines in Okanagan Valley.
Bright and golden in the glass.
Honey, apple, petrol, golden plum and white peach on the nose. Lemon-lime, honey, apricots, petrol and golden raisins in the mouth. The acidity is mouth watering. This wine could age another 10 years and will only improve in complexity.
