Synchromesh Wines Bob Hancock Riesling 2015

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSynchromesh has earned their street cred as THE riesling producers in BC, and on par with the best in Canada. This is one of four single vineyard rieslings released this year. Alan Dickinson works with many different ferments within each vineyard, isolating the ones which best signify the site. Bob Hancock Vineyard is one of the last vineyards on the far Northern tip of the Naramata Bench, facing south on sloping gravelly clay and calcium carbonate, and is self-rooted 21B Riesling clone. Amply off-dry, with concentrated orange and tangerine, lush peach, pulpy lime, yellow apple, cold cream and scented honeysuckle. Juicy and youthful, this rides a wave of 32 g/l RS capably, finishing with an orange marmalade twist. Fantastic value.Tasted: 30 May 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
