Notes | |||
"A finely balanced riesling from one of Ontario's premier wine producers. It's pale yellow and has aroma and flavours of fresh lime and its blossoms, starfruit and pear with mineral tones. The palate is dry, medium-bodied with crisp acidity and notes of citrus and spice on the finish. Pair with light meat, fish or seafood." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2020 Riesling Estate comes in at six grams of residual sugar, 7.8 of total acidity and 12.4% alcohol. Dry but perfectly balanced, this is a little sterner than the regular Riesling, but it never becomes shrill, even if it is always fairly intense. Elegant and classic in aromas, it also adds a bit of petrol on the nose. Then, it follows with considerable grip and tension and a respectably long finish. This is young and unevolved. It seems to have ample potential. The petrol is under control today. I liked how it developed as it aired and warmed in the glass. Needless to say, this dry and somewhat stern Riesling is strictly a food wine. It should age and become more clearly a winner, but it could use a year or two more in the cellar." —Wine Advocate |
