Made from a special block of 21 year-old Riesling vines in what CedarCreek calls a Mosel-by-way-of-Okanagan style.
It's zingy and fresh and has a duel personality that allows it to be elegant yet extremely gulp-able. The nose offers pretty aromas of wet stone mineral, lemon drops, honey, ripe orchard fruits and spring blossoms. It has a fine and delicate palate of citrus, tangy green apple and tree fruits. Wonderful focus, only 8% alcohol and the kiss of sweetness is offset with racy acidity.
Excellent job by a winemaker who knows his Riesling - Darryl Brooker.
