Fort Berens Riesling 2021
British Columbia, CanadaOne of two riesling Fort Berens puts out every year, this classic style has more RS (8 g/L) than their Dry Riesling (at 3 g/L). Fruit comes off Vernon's Rise Vineyard, as well as their Lillooet estate. After crushing and 12 hours skin contact this was fermented cool in stainless, halted when the desired sweetness was reached. After 5 more months on lees, this was bottled. Ripe pear, fragrant peach, mango, lime pith and apple blossoms rule the juicy, off-dry palate, finishing snappy. A simple, sweeter white to crack into, well chilled, this summer.Tasted: 02 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:BC | $21.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, grocery |
