2021 Monte Creek “Ancient Waters” Riesling | 91+pts

This energy filled version of the 2021 “Living Land” Riesling is much more precise and terroir driven showing the tremendous potential of the Thompson River Valley. The nose is a bit shy compared to the exuberant style of the “Living Land” version, with aromas of green apple, zesty lime, chamomile and a hint of blood orange towards the end. The palate is filled with tension, including flavours of lime, Meyer lemon, just a touch of orange peel and a spark of fresh peach. The mid-palate is where the complexity takes place showing stunning minerality levels and lip-smacking acidity, leading towards a very impressive and lengthy finish. This wine hangs in there for at least 30+ seconds making your mouth water, ready for more. This wine triggers my geeky side! 100% Thompson River Valley Riesling. (CWC, March 10, 2024)
