Kitsch 2019 Esther's Block Riesling 750ml

After selling their successful men's underwear company, Trent and Ria Kitsch planted more than 5ha in northeast Kelowna, including two Riesling parcels. The cooler Maria’s Block is made in a medium-dry style while the sun-soaked Esther’s Block is left barely off-dry. A suggestion of nuts makes way for crab apple and lime marmalade. Focused and linear with a sneaky tactile grip, this mineral-led, citrus-accented wine reaches a slatey crescendo.
