Mike B Riesling Cabinett 2014

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPart of the OCP Wine Campus series, this Kabinett style riesling was created in conjunction with Mike Bernardo, Vancouver's Sommelier of the Year 2014. Proceeds from the 120 cases go towards the BC Hospitality Foundation. Mike B wanted to make a riesling, fermented in both stainless steel and a concrete egg. The result suspends crisp fruit over a subtly creamy concrete cushion, all sweetened with a swipe (2.5 g/l RS) of sweetness. Perfumed florals, baby powder, ripe pear and guava pervade the nose and juicy palate - one lifted with a lively lime electricity and finishing with a chalky texture. Youthful and exuberant, I'm looking forward to tasting this again in 3-5 year’s time when it has relaxed a bit.Tasted: 02 September 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
