Orofino Hendsbee Vineyard Riesling Clone 239 2018

Cawston, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOne of two single vineyard clone riesling from Cawston Bench's Hendsbee Vineyard this vintage, this is entirely 239. Planted in 2006, this is rooted in sandy loam, calcium carbonate laced soils, over deep gravels. This is much drier than Orofino's other rieslings, with the stony soils taking centre stage, bedding pithy lime, green apple, pear skin, yeasty lees to a snappy finish.Tasted: 26 May 2020Tasted by: Prices:
