Oak Bay Vineyard Gebert Family Reserve Riesling 2013
East Kelowna, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is the second look we have had at this wine, whose vines were set down in 1978 in East Kelowna. The nose is a cross between Rheinhessen and Australia’s Clare Valley. Concentrated and rich, this bone-dry offering is overflowing with minerality, lime, tangerine pith, white honey and green apples. Treve correctly denotes ‘a parmesan-scented lees’ that carries the palate through to a snappy, dry, tart finish. This is a special bottle that will live for many more years. Well done and a fine example of real wine in BC. Pick your food this wine is up to it.Tasted: 02 April 2018Tasted by: Prices: BC 26.00 winery direct, VQA wine shops

Oak Bay Vineyard Gebert Family Reserve Riesling 2013
East Kelowna, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe St Hubertus and Oak Bay Vineyards were originally planted in 1928 in Kelowna, and the old vines that make up this concentrated riesling were planted in 1978. Potent and pulpy lime, tangerine pith, white honey, green apple and stony, parmesan-scented lees drives along the palate to a snappy finish. Off-dry, but you don't even notice with this concentration, riveting acidity, and terrific length.Tasted: 04 April 2017Tasted by: Prices: BC 26.00 winery direct, VQA wine shops
