Moraine Riesling 2020

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWinemaker Amber Pratt continues to fine tune the Moraine lineup, now spread across three estate-run vineyards: Sophia, Anastasia and Lily; along with some nearby purchased fruit. The riesling is all Naramata Bench, seemingly the perfect medium for exciting fresh wines that come with elegance and style. The riesling gets a brief cold soak to maximize flavour extraction. In 2020 it was all about green fruit, citrus, and apples with all the mineral floral notes you can handle. Clean, fresh, and ready to drink, a versatile food wine that enlivens almost any meal choice. It is also affordable.Tasted: 29 January 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
