East Kelowna, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVibrant and singing as ever, the 2018 feels especially joyous. Estate fruit was picked as lots and whole cluster pressed separately, each fermented and aged in stainless to preserve the fresh, pure fruit. They were then blended to achieve this winning, youthful white. Lime rules the juicy, off-dry palate, with pulp and peel playing staring roles, and accompanied by green apple, pear, kiwi, and mouthwatering sherbet-laced acidity which holds the 19 g/L RS at bay. This is one of three rieslings released by Tantalus this year, and they all carry distinctly the house hallmark.Tasted: 05 July 2019Tasted by: Prices: BC 19.91 winery direct, private wine shops

East Kelowna, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThere is nothing regular about the “regular” Tantalus riesling, and judging by the rush to southeast Kelowna to grow riesling, pinot noir, and chardonnay, the terroir is equally compelling. The purity of fruit is the Tantalus signature, and you get that and more in this 2018, a vintage that started slow, and slowed down under a haze of summer smoke before harvest. The wine is bright, clean and refreshing with signature aromas of tangerines, lime leaf, and flowers that spill across its stony, mineral palate, flecked with kiwi and starfruit. Just a baby, you can drink it now or hold it a decade.Tasted: 02 May 2019Tasted by: Prices: BC 19.91 winery direct, private wine shops
