Introduction:
Mission Hill Family Estate Reserve Riesling is a refined expression of the Okanagan Valley, crafted from estate vineyards in West Kelowna and Naramata. These unique sites benefit from diverse microclimates and ideal growing conditions, allowing for a wine that captures the essence of its terroir with purity and balance.
Vineyard Notes:
- The West Kelowna vineyard is located on the slopes of Mount Bourcherie, an inactive volcano, featuring steep, southeast-facing hillside vineyards that enhance sun exposure and drainage.
- The Naramata Ranch vineyard enjoys the moderating influence of Okanagan Lake, allowing for an extended ripening period that contributes to the wine’s complexity and depth.
Pairings:
This Riesling pairs beautifully with spicy Asian dishes, seafood, and citrus-glazed poultry. Its bright acidity also complements soft cheeses, herb-infused dishes, and light pasta preparations, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
