Fort Berens Small Lot Dry Riesling 2021
Lillooet, British Columbia, CanadaFrom 2 older blocks in their Lillooet Dry Creek estate vineyard, this had 6 hours of skin contact before pressing and a long, cold ferment followed by 5 months on lees. Though this is called Dry, in contrast to the winery's classic Riesling, there is a bump of 3 g/L RS to offset the acidity. Pulpy lime, ripe pear, apple blossoms, gingerale rule the mellow palate, finishing with a snappy dust of spice. A simple, friendly, dryer style well suited to fragrant Thai noodle dishes this year.Tasted: 02 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:BC | $24.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers, grocery |
