Red Rooster Riesling 2012

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAn alluring nose of guava, pear, citrus and orange rind that draws you deep into the glass. The fruit comes off Hidden Terrace and Fool's Gold vineyards in Oliver; a portion of the juice was fermented in stainless steel while the remainder was fermented in a concrete egg. The style is off-dry, with refreshing acidity and delicious lemon, peach and guava fruit flavours. Minerality and persistence mark the finish. A super effort you can serve with halibut; spring pea risotto; sushi; crab cakes and more. Wherever you need a squeeze of lemon.Tasted: 29 March 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
