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

High minerality - tones of slate; high acidity. Stone fruit and lime.

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.

Complex, bright and the first white I've had with a touch of petrol; quite interesting.

Great showcase of Canadian wine. This might be one of my favorite. Soft yellow and on the nose, notes of citrus and apple. On the palate, it light and crisp. Well balance, sweet and nice acidity.
