Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis organic riesling comes from Garnet Valley Ranch, the exciting higher altitude vineyard planted by OCP, and under the guidance of Pedro Parra and Alberto Antonini, and under the care of viticulturist extraordinaire Duncan Billing. This was native fermented in clay amphora, and then aged in stainless prior to bottling. Off-dry, with 17g/L RS, this still feels quite tight with earthy, yeasty lees, green apple, river stone, and a long, lingering, humming, grippy finish. Partner with complexed and fragrant Thai or Vietnamese seafood or veg dishes; this can handle it. 60 cases.Tasted: 29 May 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom certified organic fruit grown at Garnet Valley Ranch, this was fermented in amphora with native yeasts before aging in stainless steel. Initially shy, with time it shows subdued white florals, stone fruits, and an earthy herbal note. The palate is taut and precise. You'd be hard pressed to guess there's 17 g/L of residual sugar, with a pithy, phenolic texture that makes you wonder if there was some skin contact. If riesling could get any geekier, this is probably it.Tasted: 17 June 2020Tasted by: Prices:
