Terravista En Terre Riesling 2023

Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaEn Terre, meaning 'earthen' or 'of the earth,' is a project that has been 5 years in the making at Terravista. It is also the name of the home vineyard on the Naramata Bench. The series will feature five different wines, of which the inaugural release is a riesling from two blocks, Gold Digger and Boulders Blocks, grown at the winery’s Storm Haven Vineyard in Okanagan Falls. Another look at the 2023 and it looks even better in bottle. It is a full flavoured, vibrant riesling that straddles Germany’s elegant Mosel style and the richer wines of the Rheingau. Look for intense pear and orange, with a spray of citrus and smooth stone fruit, and a finish sporting 17 grams of residual sugar that pleases without overwhelming the acidity. The two lots are whole cluster pressed, blended, and cofermented by winemaker Nadine Kinvig at cool temperatures. It's an impressive start and wine you can serve with any spicy Southeast Asia dish. Expect it to age well.Tasted: 23 August 2024Tasted by: Prices:
