Another gorgeous wine from winemaker Ann Sperling. The Riesling grapes for this BC white wine grow on old vines that were panted in 1978. The depth and concentration shows in the wine. Aromas of peach, apricot and wet stone. Pair with seafood and shellfish.

Reviews and Ratings

Julian Park rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Not released until 2 years in the bottle has passed. Most years, harvested at 20.5 to 21.5 Brix and 10 g/L acidity. Fruit hand-harvested cool in late-fall, then the bunches were sorted and destemmed with a 4-6 hour cold soak before gentle pressing. Slightly settled juice is fermented cool with non-aromatic and wild yeast in stainless steel to desired dryness when fermentation is halted.

Ann's flagship wine. A fruity Halbtrocken style Riesling, pale gold in colour.  Aromas of white peach, lemon and lime with a hint of floral rose. On the palate green apple and peach with well-balanced acid and minerality. This wine will age well and is strong enough to accompany even blue cheese.
