Tantalus Old Vines Riesling 2008

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOld Vines is the definition of iconoclastic. Freethinking and individualistic, the fruit (essentially grown organically) comes off a single block planted in 1978. Expect super intense aromas of lime and lemon preview a palate that is equally intense offering up peachy stone fruit characters all with an incredible undercurrent of acidity. This wine will live forever but in the meantime you can drink it with just about any food just for fun. Stock up. Tasted: 01 November 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
