These 2022 riesling grapes were sourced from two distinctly different but important vineyards from the Naramata area. One of these vineyards is located in a small gully which is integral in preserving the austere acidity which Riesling is known for. The other is from a higher elevation vineyard which slowly but seamlessly ripens our grapes aromas. Our 2022 Riesling was whole bunch pressed at low pressures to maintain fruit purity and acidity. This juice then underwent a slow and cool fermentation for 15 weeks resulting in a crisp, aromatic, and textural wine.

Winemaker Notes
The 2022 Riesling grapes were sourced from two distinctly different but important vineyards from the Naramata Bench and the Similkameen. One of these vineyards is located at the start of the Bench and is a young vibrant vineyard, the other is in Cawston from a higher elevation vineyard which slowly but seamlessly ripens our grapes aromas.
Our 2022 Riesling was whole bunch pressed at low pressures to maintain fruit purity and acidity. This juice then underwent a slow and cool fermentation for 16 weeks resulting in a crisp, aromatic, and textural wine.
Food Pairing Notes
Enjoy with a plate of blue cheese, figs and dried apricot. Serve with barbecued ginger and lemongrass marinated shrimp.
