Tantalus 2022 Riesling 750ml

At 12.9 percent alcohol and 14.7 g/L of residual sugar, the latest Tantalus Riesling is all you could want for the price. Year after year, it presents a nervy mix of peaches and lemon pith with a squeeze of green apple and wild flowers on wet stones and orange peels. Long, complex, and electric, it is a wine for the ages. One you can drink now or twenty years from now. Riesling thrives in the north Okanagan, and in the cool years, it transcends itself. Winter hasn’t been kind to this vineyard, but I hope it has something reserved from four+ decades of existence that will allow it to return stronger than ever.
