Fort Berens Riesling 2017
Lillooet, British Columbia, CanadaUnlike 2016 where two rieslings were released, this year Fort Berens has combined efforts and made one mid-sweet riesling, using 61 percent Lillooet estate grapes and the remainder from Lady Hawk Vineyard in the Similkameen. Whole cluster pressing and cool fermentation has resulted in a rich, fruity wine. Rich pear, baked yellow apple and lime curd is dosed with a touch of spritz. The RS here is pretty high (27.9), and overreaches the admirable zippy acidity, leaving the finish bright, but a bit sticky. Would love to see the RS dialled back, making this more user-and-food friendly.Tasted: 28 June 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $17.99 | 750ml | winery direct, VQA shops |
