West Kelowna, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Quail's Gate Dry Riesling, emphasis on dry, comes off 30 year old vines. There are no big surprises here. The attack is tart with ample green apple, lime, citrus, melon that finishes dry and firm. This is a perfect wine for cheese at the moment. Fresh and clean, it is ready to drink but will hold for years given the styling. Good value.Tasted: 24 May 2020Tasted by: Prices:
West Kelowna, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom 30 year old vines, this Quails' Gate Dry Riesling is nearly that (at 2.9 g/L), but with ample zesty acidity and concentration to balance it well. White pepper, lemon, melon, and green apple steam down the narrow, slight palate, finishing bright and briskly. Simple and clean.Tasted: 29 April 2020Tasted by: Prices:
West Kelowna, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom 30+ year old vines, this riesling was whole cluster pressed and then fermented and aged in stainless steel. At the moment it’s not overly expressive, with subdued green apple and lime as well as a whiff of sulphur. The palate is taut and precise in a truly dry style, with the 2.9 g/L of residual sugar easily erased by the racy acidity. It comes across a little closed right now, so I’d give this some time in the cellar to see if it opens up. For now, it’s a crisp, refreshing white that will go down easily on a warm summer afternoon.Tasted: 02 May 2020Tasted by: Prices:
