St. Hubertus Dry Riesling 2012

East Kelowna Slopes, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Gebert families have tended East Kelowna's original Hughes Vineyard for more than 25 years, serving as the most recent caretakers of the land which saw some of the first Okanagan grape plantings in 1928. The family farms sustainably and produces only wines from estate fruit under their St. Hubertus and Oak Bay labels. The grapes for this riesling were planted from 1978 to 2000. Buoyant lime, stone and juicy pear, with tight green apple, racy lemon acidity and a skiff of lees. A bit of residual sugar is the perfect foil to that lovely acidity.Tasted: 17 February 2015Tasted by: Prices:
