Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaI love this certified organic riesling from the spectacular Garnet Valley Ranch, a 300+hectare, high altitude property planned and executed by Chris Coletta and Steve Lornie and visionary David Scholefield, along with superstar consultants Chilean Pedro Parra and Italian Alberto Antonini. The property is currently under the care of viticulturist Duncan Billing, and he’s killing it with this riesling. 2019 is screamingly good. It’s packed full of minerals, Okanagan desert scrub and mouth watering flavours. Lemons, green apples, and wet stones are all here in a tight, fresh, balanced, bone dry package. Kudos to winemaker Matt Dumayne. Wow.Tasted: 25 May 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom young vines planted at Okanagan Crush Pad's Garnet Valley Ranch, this was whole cluster pressed, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and then aged for six months in stainless steel. It's quite a zesty riesling, led by lime and bolstered by honey and chalk accents with a slight oxidative character. Taut and racy, with a precise, linear texture, this finishes dry even with 10 g/L residual sugar thanks to the zippy acidity. It's everything youy want in a great bottle of riesling: exceptional balance, verve, and energy. Certified organic and vegan friendly.Tasted: 05 June 2021Tasted by: Prices:

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 year it was native fermented in stainless, holding the sleek frame tight and energetic on the palate. Citrus, green apple, subtle lemon blossom and humming river stone minerality skip along the frame, leaving this humming on the dry palate. Zing! pH 2.54, TA 11.Tasted: 25 August 2020Tasted by: Prices:
