Hester Creek Terra Unica Riesling 2016

Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaYou will have to join the Bench Wine Club to gain access to their Terra Unica Riesling, direct to club members at $22.95. An early warm growing season followed by a cool long fall on the Golden Mile Bench has made for some clean, juicy fruit with plenty of residual sugar. The fruit was dry-farmed before going through a stainless-steel ferment, halted before dryness, and leaving 26 grams per litre of residual sugar. Expect a fresh, mineral, citrus nose with generous orange and lemon flavours and a shake of sea salt. It was perfect with breaded pork. A fitting example of what can be accomplished on the complex Golden Mile Bench in the south Okanagan Valley.Tasted: 13 October 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
