Lightning Rock Riesling 2025

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaLightning Rock continues to refine what is a taut, electric version of BC Riesling, coming off the Naramata Bench just across, as the crow flies, on Okanagan Lake. The core is bright lemon, with a hint of sugar gobbled up by the acidity as it moves across the palate, finishing perfectly balanced. Both stony and mineral, it sits on the dry to barely off-dry spectrum, with a delicious saline edge that carries through to a long, precise finish. Transparent, energetic, and quietly complex, favouring finesse over power. All that at 10.6 degrees of alcohol is a beautiful thing.Tasted: 16 May 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
