Description
The fossilized remains of the creatures that once inhabited the large sea that covered the Niagara Escarpment play a huge role in creating the layers of exciting and precisely articulated minerality that lies at the heart of this single-vineyard Riesling. The St. Urban vineyard was planted in 1979 and produces wines of incredibly complexity and depth. This will be crisp and balanced with notes of pear, citrus and honey interwoven with the intricate mineral tones. Enjoy with pork tenderloin or shrimp pad Thai.

Tasting Notes
Hermann Weis brought these vines, now nearly 40 years of age, to Ontario from Weingut St. Urbans-Hof in Mosel. The have flourished in the ancient sea-born-soils of the Niagara Escarpment. Floral and juicy with lime, peach, apple, and a refined mineral note. (July 2012)
