Moraine Riesling 2019

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWinemaker Dwight Sick has found his mojo on the Naramata Bench after a fine run in Okanagan Falls, as evidenced by this 2019 clone 49 riesling that is 90 percent Red Row Vineyard and 10 percent Anastasia Vineyard. The fruit was “boot-stomped and allowed to cold-soak for 5 hours to maximize extraction.” The result is an amazing mineral, citrusy riesling with a sheen of botrytis lending it a lush mouthfeel and perfectly complex finish. Any food you like will work here.Tasted: 30 April 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
