Tightrope Winery Riesling 2016

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada2016 is a juicy affair of orchard aromas and fruits, including white flowers, peach, and honey, with a thin beam of acidity cutting across the base. Crisp and fresh, it flashes a bit of orange and petrol in its long, persistent, dryish finish. The estate-grown grapes are picked in two lots, one week apart, in search of the ultimate ripeness while retaining its secret weapon, its stony minerality. Fish cakes or tacos or a plate of favourite cheeses all work here.
