This has a brilliant, piquant nose of green apple, lemon, herbs, mineral and vague florality. It is mid-weight,...

A 2016 Riesling from the Beamsville Bench region of the Niagara Peninsula. This white is the winery's Estate Riesling, organically grown and hand-picked. The tongue can only perceive sugar at a concentration that exceeds 10 g/l. Therefore at 14 g/l, this wine has just a touch of sweetness (off-dry). Aromas of green apple, lemon, apricot, honey. Really bright mouth-watering acidity. Long lingering finish of tart green apple and lemon. 11% alcohol.

The medium-high intensity nose offers limestone mineral, peach, apricot and ripe lemon citrus and stone fruit aromas. It's off-dry on the palate with honeyed herbal and green apple flavours plus stone fruit aroma replays. Bright acids are juicy, while the long finish is clean with some bitterness. Tasted Apr/2018.
