Kanaan Winery Riesling 2013

I mentioned this wine in a previous entry on a Riesling tasting in the organic wine shop. This Riesling is from a winery in Ningxia, which is apparently an up and coming region in China, but this will need another blog entry to explore. As for the Riesling I had tried, it was a pale lemon colour, with a slightly peachy nose with lots of lime notes. It was dry and citrussy on the palate with a sterling acid backbone. The nose suggested a dry Riesling of the Australian or New Zealand mould, though that did not translate to the palate. With a young winery (only 4 years) and young vines, this is a very good start and Kanaan's Riesling is certainly something to keep a close eye on (even though this is not a style of Riesling I prefer).
