Summer is a great time for Riesling. Here is a guest post by Gigi Goyer to help you with your wine selection.
I love a great Riesling! I have been on the lookout in Lake country and Kelowna area for the “great one”, Haha, yes well it’s is such a food-friendly wine. I came across this 2013 vintage and thought I’d review as the 2014 vintage has won a Lieutenant Governor’s award! I will review that one at a later date.
St. Hubertus is situated on the eastern shores of Kelowna, very close to shore for that matter and this climate is perfect for producing Riesling and that perfect acidity. They also have a delicious Dry Riesling by the way.
Anyway as we open the nose I detect a slight Petrol scent followed by Green apple and honey. The palate offers some stone fruit, citrus with crisp acidity well balanced with the sweetness followed by a dry finish. Very refreshing and quite elegant.
The acidity and sweetness is a must with Asian dishes and curries.
4/5 for value and Taste!
$16.75 at the Winery
