Tantalus Riesling Ontario 2024
Ontario, CanadaRiesling is one of Tantalus Vineyard's great strengths and it's much in evidence here. The winery looked East to Ontario for replacement grapes rather than South, utilizing two neighbouring vineyards: Grimbsby Hillside and Mark Picone. The neighbouring sites are planted to the same riesling clone 21B but have remarkably different terroirs. Opening with light petrol, wet stones, green apple and citrus peel, this is off-dry but with a crisp, bright acidity, showing pure lime peel, wet wool, honey, wet stones, and green apple. It should develop much further with more time in the bottle. Different shades of flavour here versus their Okanagan rieslings, yet still embodies the house style and their high standards of quality.Tasted: 19 May 2025Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $27.83 | 750ml | winery direct, select private wine shops and restaurant |
