Kitsch Maria's Block Riesling 2018
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMaria is the sweeter of Kitsch's riesling sisters, with a noticeable but not uncomely 16.5 g/L RS in 2018. Both are sourced from the winery's home estate, and from clone 239, planted in 2013. This sister has a plump nectarine, mandarin, and mirabelle plum palate, girdled with a lime pith brace and finishing with a medicinal cherry rinse. After whole cluster pressing, this was fermented in stainless, after which it rested there for two months on lees. If you like your rieslings with a bump of sugar and a pop of acid to match, meet Maria.Tasted: 27 June 2019Tasted by: Prices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
