Peak Cellars Riesling 2019

16/20

Lake Country, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWinemaker Stephanie Stanley heads up all the aromatic wines at O’Rourke’s Peak Cellars and has all the right stuff in this Carrs Landing riesling. A second tasting five months down the road confirms the bright lemon-lime fruit flecked with pear, grapefruit, honey, and floral notes. The style is cool and minerally with a fresh undercurrent of acidity. More cool kids than oldtimer, it is a food friendly riesling leading my thoughts to spicy chicken wraps, Margherita pizza, Asian curries, Mexican vegetarian and well, most anything you like. Tasty and affordable but best served with food.Tasted: 04 March 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Peak Cellars Riesling 2019

Lake Country, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom their Lake Country estate, this tight, tart riesling is led by lime and lemon sherbet, with lip-smacking acidity and punchy gooseberry and crunchy kiwi on the snappy finish. A needed bump of 9 g/L RS helps to cut the searing acidity, but it's still left on a lime twist. Chill well and crack now.Tasted: 17 March 2021Tasted by: Prices:
