If tasted blind, there would be no doubting the variety. Fine acidity, typical flavours of lemon, and greapefuit along with floaral aromas of flavours leave no doubt that this is Riesling.

Overpriced at $17, there are better Niagara offerings in this price range from the likes of Cave Spring and Flat Rock...or just buy a Kabinett from Germany.
