Fort Berens Riesling 2019

Lillooet, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Vernon to Oliver and over the pass to the Similkameen Valley, this riesling originates from three distinct terroirs: Rise Vineyard in Vernon, Covert Farms in Oliver and an undisclosed site in the Similkameen Valley. It is fermented in stainless, arrested by cold temperatures to yield some 14 grams per litre of residual sugar to help balance the bright acidity. Perfumed and floral with lime blossom, honeysuckle, wilted fruit, yogurt on a sweeter, clipped palate. Somewhat disjointed and clumsy at this point. Best with a curry or served well chilled.Tasted: 06 April 2020Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:
