Quails Gate Okanagan Kelowna Dry Riesling Wine

2009 QUAILS' GATE DRY RIESLING

Winemakers Notes:

Our Riesling was sourced entirely from 25 year old vines in the Quails’ Gate Estate vineyards. The deep roots extend into the subsoils of the Boucherie Mountain slopes bring more complex mineral and slate notes to the fruit. The cool season is reflected with elevated natural acidity which gives structure to the palate and enhances ageability. Fermented cold with vigorous yeast strains, 6 batches were blended to create the final wine. This wine has great ageability and will reward careful cellaring of up to 5 years with the development of classic aged riesling characters.

Tasting Notes:

Tropical lemon-lime fruit aromas, backed with solid
mineral-slate-wet stone notes. Zingy and fresh on the palate with mouth watering acidity. An excellent harmony of ripe fruit and natural sweetness. This is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed on its own or with food. We recommended Crab cakes served with apple and fennel slaw or pork loin with house made pink lady apple sauce.
