64% Informative

Riesling's cult factor, in the finest use of that word, remains powerful.

The noble grape was the king of white wines at the turn of the 20th century .

The flavour profile is among the purest of any grapes grown in the province, and they come in just about any style you could want, from bone dry to ultra-sweet and lately in sparkling wine.

Van Westen Vineyards Viscous needs a new name, given it is anything but thick, gooey or gelatinous.

The nose is an orchard affair of nectarine, green apple and lime blossom notes.

This is a perfect wine for West Coast oysters and is long, flavourful and complex.

The 2022 Bona Fide is a 42/33/25 mix of Malbec , Carmenere , and Syrah .

The palate is a juicy affair of black and red fruits dusted in savoury south Okanagan scrub.

The wine is hand-harvested, bunch-sorted and wild fermented.
