Culmina Family Estate Susser Riesling No. 005 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis wine is extremely food-friendly, and at Culmina they pay attention to potential matches, suggesting a sweet-savoury chèvre tartelette with new season vegetables, or cut fruit and chicken liver mousse. The fifth release in the “Number Series” opens with an aromatic orchard fruit nose with flecks of lemon, melon and honey. The off-dry palate is delicate but rich in stone fruit flavours with fine underlying acidity. The fruit comers off Block X2, a cool corner of vines on Arise Bench planted to clone 21. The 'Susser' tag is a direct translation of the German for sweeter and it more than adequately reflects the overall final impression of this tasty white.Tasted: 08 October 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $30.00 | 750ml | club members |
