En Terre Riesling 2023

EN TERRE RIESLING - Brand New Product in 2024
Wine Club Release April 18th 
Public Release April 25th - read more in depth about En Terre

TASTING NOTES:
This En Terre Riesling expresses as much elegance as it does energy, leading with bergamot, pear and layers of elevated citrus. The touch of sweetness on the palate rounds out with a medley of stone fruits and delicate florals, with complexity building with each sip.

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

En Terre meaning ‘earthen’ or 'of the earth’ is the embodiment of this special wine project. Crafted with an inventive spirit, this Riesling is from Gold Digger and Boulders Blocks from our new property in Okanagan Falls. This wine is a testament to sustainability. It harmonizes vibrant fruit and thoughtful farming to reflect the beauty of these two blocks at Storm Haven Vineyard. A symbol of collaboration and conservation, its precise balance and distinctive terroir celebrate innovative winemaking. 

The fruit was hand harvested from the two separate blocks at our Storm Haven Vineyard located in Okanagan Falls. The Boulders block was harvested on Sept 19, 2023 followed by the Gold Digger block which was harvested on September 21st. The two lots were gently whole cluster pressed, then blended together and co-fermented at cool temperatures. After 31 days the fermentation was arrested to retain residual sugar, in order to balance out the fresh acidity.

Technical Details:
pH 2.8, TA 8.6 g/L, Alc 11.3 %, RS 17.1 g/L

"It is a full flavoured riesling that straddles Germany’s elegant Mosel style and the richer wines of the Rheingau. Look for intense pear and orange, with a spray of citrus and smooth stone fruit, and a finish sporting 17 grams of residual sugar that pleases without overwhelming the acidity. The two lots are whole cluster pressed, blended, and cofermented by winemaker Nadine Kinvig at cool temperatures. It's an impressive start, and wine you can serve with any spicy Southeast Asia dish."
