Synchromesh Wines Thorny Vines Vineyard Botrytis Affected Riesling 2013
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWhen botrytis took hold in part of the Thorny Vines Riesling, winemaker Alan Dickinson decided to listen to nature and pre-select botrytis clusters at a very early stage of ripeness to add to this wine. The result - an apparently dry, aperitif wine with 30 g/L of residual sugar that you cannot possibly believe is there. Crisp lime, green apple, apple peel, almonds lime pith and wildflower honey, with Anjou pear and bright, lively acidity through the lengthy finish. And only 8.6% alcohol! A revelation, and welcome, especially with canapés and as an apéritif.Tasted: 16 December 2014Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $15.00 | 375ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
