Fort Berens Riesling 2018

Lillooet, British Columbia, CanadaOne of two rieslings released in 2018, the other being the Dry Riesling. This is certainly not, with a sizeable swell of RS, leaving candied pink grapefruit, lemon peel, pear sorbet, and honeyed lychee. There's a bolt of acidity here that saves this from being too sweet for itself. Two thirds of the fruit comes from Lillooet, with the remainder coming from Vernon. After whole cluster pressing, this fermented and rested for a brief time in stainless. Chill and crack this summer.Tasted: 17 August 2019Tasted by: Prices:
