Recline Ridge Vineyards & Winery 2015 Ortega


Ortega is a cross of Muller-Thurgau and Siegerrebe intended to be early ripening and frost resistant grape, suitable for cooler growing climates and this British Columbia wine is a beautiful example of the varietal. On the nose are aromas of apricot, orange blossom, ripe melon, tangerine and fresh ginger. The wine is nicely structured on the palate, showing Gooseberry and green apple upfront with an elegant streak of minerality emerging on the mid-palate and lingering through the finish with notes of Meyer lemon and saline. - Reviewed by Gary Hayes
