Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Crafted by winemakers Lyndsay and Graham O’Rourke, Tightrope Winery Riesling 2020 is zesty, clean and crisp with fresh-cut apple, lemon and grapefruit zest finishing with flinty mineral flavours on the palate. Deliciously fresh. The Riesling grapes for this vintage were sourced from the estate vineyard on the Naramata Bench and picked in two separate lots with the first lot whole cluster pressed, and 14 hours of skin contact prior to the press. The wine juice was cool-fermented in stainless steel tanks at temperatures between 11-14 °C. Chill and enjoy this very fresh Riesling with seafood and vegetarian curries. Tasted January 2022.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
