Tart lemon curd and great palette weight. Racy, bright acidity balanced with slightest amount of RS. Aromatic, floral, baked bread, licorice and a touch of petrol. Minerality all the way through.

Absolutely delicious. Pineapple, petrol, lemon and a light perfume of fresh flowers. So incredibly crisp with a finish that demands another sip. #riesling #bc #okanagan

So good. Shines on Day 2 with no signs of slowing down. Tantalizing! (Sorry.)

Honey color, low acidity, notes of peach and pink grapefruit. Semi-sweet.
