Ex Nihilo Riesling 2017

16/20

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAt 50 degrees north, it comes as no surprise this wine was picked after the first snow and freeze of the season, which helped to concentrate the flavours on the vine. The style is on the rich yellow fruit side with a dollop of residual sugar. Off-dry but with enough acidity to keep it fresh, this is is a soft, round, ready-to-drink rielsing that is perfect for barbecue pork or Thai curry.Tasted: 18 July 2019Tasted by: Prices:

Ex Nihilo Riesling 2017

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom northern Okanagan's cool Lake Country, this vintage of Ex Nihilio's riesling was picked after the first snows and freeze of the season, meaning the fruit was concentrated on the vine. Knowing that makes the honeyed and heady concentration natural, joined with ripe pear, apricot, apple butter on a slow moving palate. Acidity is low for riesling, making this easy, sweeter white highly approachable for drinking now.Tasted: 17 July 2019Tasted by: Prices:

Ex Nihilo Riesling 2017

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaEx Nihilo sits near 50 degrees north in cool-climate Lake Country, British Columbia, and in 2017 the late hanging fruit was picked after a winter snowstorm and freezing temperatures. The normally lean style is much richer with yellow fruits and spätlese style residual sugar giving it an off-dry demeanour, but with enough acidity in the finish. Soft and round, this would be best served with spicy dishes to tame a bit of the sugar. Think barbecue pork or a Thai curry.Tasted: 08 October 2018Tasted by: Prices:
