{"product_id":"phantom-creek-estates-riesling-2022","title":"Phantom Creek Estates Riesling 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis balanced dry white wine originates from Canada, within British Columbia, the Okanagan Valley, and the Black Sage Bench subregion. Phantom Creek Estates is a landmark, state of the art winery located near Oliver, dedicated to producing terroir driven estate wines through organic and biodynamic viticulture. Crafted with guidance from Alsace master winemaker Olivier Humbrecht MW, the estate's Riesling program showcases depth, richness, and pristine minerality. Sourced from well exposed, gravelly vineyard sites on the Black Sage Bench, multiple harvest passes ensure maximum complexity and acidity retention in every bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 2022 vintage reveals a brilliant pale straw colour with greenish reflections in the glass. The nose is highly aromatic and perfume forward, opening with scents of fresh white blossom, crisp green apple, white peach, and vibrant lime zest. On the palate, it delivers an energetic tension between ripe fruit weight and electric, world class natural acidity. Concentrated flavours of yellow citrus, lemongrass, fresh lime, and orchard fruit unfold alongside a delicate flinty and chalky mineral edge. Crafted as a 100% Riesling single varietal expression, the wine was matured for 5 months in traditional large Austrian oak casks to add weight and mouthfeel, followed by finishing in stainless steel to preserve pristine freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vibrant, mouthwatering acidity and mineral tension of this dry Riesling make it an exceptional pairing at the table. It shines alongside delicate seafood like pan seared scallops, fresh oysters, Dungeness crab, and sushi or sashimi. Structurally, its bright citrus character and subtle palate weight make it an outstanding match for lightly spiced Asian cuisine, curry dishes, roast pork tenderloin with apple chutney, and fresh goat cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eVintage Quality\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 growing season in the South Okanagan began with a cold, wet spring that delayed budburst. However, conditions shifted dramatically during the summer and early autumn, bringing warm, dry days coupled with cool desert nights. This ideal diurnal temperature swing permitted steady, complete fruit ripening while preserving optimal natural acidity and berry weight, resulting in a vibrant vintage characterized by stunning purity and aromatic focus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300190 - Stile Enterprises Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44073865052247,"sku":"150640","price":39.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/Phantom-Creek-Estates-Riesling-2022.jpg?v=1784999416","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/phantom-creek-estates-riesling-2022","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
