Synchromesh Wines Four Shadows Vineyard Riesling 2016

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFour Shadows Vineyard stretches up the hillsides above the northern edge of Penticton on a steep east-facing, gravelly site. The fruit is a selection of old blocks from the site recovered in 2014 after it lay fallow for five years. The vines are routinely stressed in the late day sun providing a textured, Auslese style wine with later picked flavours including pineapple, apricots and honeysuckle all kept in line by a beautiful citrus lime acidity in the finish. A remarkable 52 g/l RS over 8.85 total acid and 11 percent alcohol. Stock up and cellar for half a decade and beyond. Perfect with a strong Indian curry.Tasted: 07 September 2017Tasted by: Prices:
