Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
NOSE: If there is a cliché about Rieslings "just being sweet", taste this! This wine will make you re-think Riesling. Your nose gets greeted by Meyer lemon, lime zest, sweet basil & papaya.
TASTE: Key lime, green papaya, Asian pear, candied ginger, a hint of cantaloupe and green mango. Some slate. Full rich aftertaste which lingers nicely.
Vineyard Notes
100% Estate Vineyard Summerland Lakefront.
The vineyard is planted in 2011 from cuttings of the old Okanagan Falls vineyard.
The vineyard is located right beside the winery building in famous Trout Creek area. The whole Trout Creek area developed thru alluvial deposits from the higher mountains. All the fertile soil washed down and created this small land thousands of years back, which is home to the winery, wine shop and vineyard (beside a posh neighbourhood).
Winemaker Notes
100% Riesling. Ferments only in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks so we can stop the fermentation to achieve the "natural rest sweetness" And that’s all the intervention we do as the wine making style is pretty much “less is more”. Bottled a few months later, all under screw cap to preserve freshness.
Food Pairing Notes
The off-dry wine is great with a variety of pork and seafood dishes, and that splash of sweetness can temper spicy foods, especially fiery Chinese or Thai dishes with chili peppers as ingredients. Ham, sausages and barbecue are also good matches. Our favorites are aged or sharp cheeses - Manchego, Blue Cheese, and Gruyere.
