Tantalus Riesling 2023

East Kelowna Slopes, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis, their flagship riesling, was picked over a few weeks across a number of estate vineyards (2005 and 2009 planted) plus neighbouring East Kelowna grower blocks. All were whole bunch pressed, inoculated, and fermented cool-ish and long in stainless until the desired RS (15 g/L) was achieved. Juicy and mouthwatering, this off-dry riesling rings with tangerine, lime, ripe pear, cold cream, and perfumed apricot, with a driving lime peel acidity tempering the sugar and sailing this through the shimmering finish. Friendly, but never dumbed down, this is an Okanagan gem.Tasted: 13 August 2024Tasted by: Prices:
