CedarCreek Platinum Block 3 Riesling 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaHistorically, the Platinum Block Riesling gets two picks. In 2017 there were three in a ‘Platinum’ attempt to create a complexity of flavours and acidities in the wine. The fruit is 100 percent own-rooted, and the clone remains a mystery from its big bunches to its loose bundles of grapes. It gets 8-12 hours of skin contact, 50 percent stems, and is naturally fermented in a mix of stainless steel tanks, stainless steel barrels, neutral oak barrels and ceramic balls — post ferment the juice spends a minimum five months on its lees to shape its creamy palate. The style is tighter and leaner than the regular riesling with a pronounced peach, orange, ginger nose and a delicious, floral, mouthwatering finish — everything in balance here with a clean, mineral undercurrent to add a dash of complexity drink or hold.Tasted: 05 September 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $29.99 | 750ml | winery direct |
