Quails' Gate Riesling B.M.V. 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBMV, or Boucherie Mountain Vineyard, is the origins of Quails’ Gate Family Estate winery, nee farmgate, and some of its earliest riesling plantings. Winemaker Nicki Callaway was looking for something special and different than her regular ‘dry’ offering and BMV was it. It’s a mix of clone 21B off the original Westbank site mixed with clone 49 grown in East Kelowna. It was fermented for two months with indigenous yeast in neutral oak barrels, leaving the wine weighty yet nimble, with intense lemon lime fruit and a touch of residual sugar to counterbalance the acidity and electricity that runs through the wine. BMV is part of the highly successful Collector Series, which means there isn’t very much to buy. Club members and winery direct is your best bet. Impressive, real wine.Tasted: 05 April 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $29.99 | 750ml | winery direct, wine club members |
