Quails' Gate Riesling B.M.V. 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOne of Quails' Gate's small-lot Collector Series, the BMV signifies Boucherie Mountain Vineyard, the location of their historic BC estate. This wine, however, mixes estate riesling clone 21B with clone 49 grown in East Kelowna. Native fermented for two months in neutral oak barrels, this off-dry wine snaps with green apple acidity, drawing pear, quince, gooseberry, on a narrow palate, bedded with a slick of RS. Big jump up in complexity from their standard riesling, and hopefully a trend the winery will continue following.Tasted: 06 September 2018Tasted by: Prices:BC | $29.99 | 750ml | winery direct, wine club members |
