We’re always looking for ways to enhance the dining experience at 15 Park. Our latest addition? A rich, indulgent cheese fondue made with Gruyère and Emmental. To celebrate, we’re highlighting a standout wine from our library—Orofino’s 21B Clone Riesling. Featured March to April 2025 for early spring.
A Perfect Pairing: Cheese & Wine
While this Riesling is sold out at the winery, we’re lucky to have it available at 15 Park. This particular clone, 21B, originates from Germany and brings floral and citrus notes with a touch of sweetness. It’s flavourful, well-balanced and showcases the minerality that the Similkameen Valley is known for.
Why Orofino 21B Clone Works With Fondue
Riesling often pairs well with spicier dishes, but it’s also a natural match for creamy, nutty cheeses. The bright acidity of the 21B Clone Riesling cuts through the richness of the Gruyère and Emmental, creating a perfect balance of flavours. Each sip refreshes your palate, making every bite of fondue as enjoyable as the first.
