Cawston, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOrofino’s Clone 239 Riesling, grown at Hendsbee Vineyard adjacent to Orofino’s Home Vineyard on the Cawston Bench, is a label you can confidently choose year after year. The German clone, first developed in the 1950s, delivers a dry wine with a bright lime leaf and citrus nose that spills onto the palate. Its firm, dry, citrus, stony, and mineral notes all lead to a complex, electric style that perfectly matches pork dishes. This is a quality offering from a quality producer in the Similkameen Valley.Tasted: 07 November 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
