Peak Cellars Riesling 2022
Lake Country, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaI tasted this on the heels of it receiving 96 points, a gold medal and Best in Class at the LA International Wine Competition. This label usually includes a selection of individual blocks from Lake Country. The recipe consists of an early-picked block to add a higher level of acidity, while the other parts were fermented in a neutral oak barrel and a concrete tank to keep the texture front and centre. That delivers a rich aromatic nose and vibrant fruity palate. Notes of tinned pineapple, green apple, and spice intermingle with sweeter honeysuckle, notes and ripe papaya. The balance is acidity-led in the back end, with crisp orchard fruit and a wisp of Okanagan desert scrub. This is delicious and capable of accompanying richly flavoured menu items. Think of several Asian dishes, local baked salmon or slow-roasted pork.
