"Searingly tart, but fragrant with a touch of petrol, this punches through with crisp apple fruit, a hint of honeycomb and plenty of lemony acidity. Despite the low listed alcohol, it finishes dry, with just enough residual sugar to round off the biting acidity. -PG"
Product Description:
"Within Niagara, the noble Riesling grape develops to its fullest potential only in specific areas. We have crafted this wine from selected vineyard sites throughout our region where limestone-clay soils, elevation and moderating breezes from Lake Ontario have combined to create a medium-dry Riesling with an impeccable balance of rich fruit character and mineral acidity.
Colour Pale straw. Nose Aromas of ruby grapefruit, honeysuckle, wet stone and anise; undertones of yellow plum, Key-lime, slate, pastry and fresh sage. Palate Off dry and medium bodied; round and creamy on the attack, with ripe, extracted citrus and pear fruit in the middle, in tension with an electrifying seam of saline acidity; a rich, mineral texture underpins the wine throughout, drawing into a dry, exhilarating finish of tangerine, plum, blueberry and crushed stone." - Winery
