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.

Oldest vines in the Okanagan. Aromas of petrol and peach. Intensely fruity, sweet wine. Lovely!!!

2018 vintage.
100 % Riesling from Block 5. A 2 acre vineyard in size.
Pale straw yellow. Stoney lime juice, tangerine, kiwi and white flowers.
Crisp and dry with bracing acidity and minerality on the finish.
All hand picked fruit and whole bunch pressed.
Spends 4 months on the lees then aged 2 years in bottle before release.
This wine is built for long term aging.
7 to 10 years is no problem.
