Description
The grapes for this vibrant, borderline-off-dry Riesling are left on the vine longer than those for the winery's non-estate Riesling. Look for an interplay of lush citrus and floral accents, with a hint of sweetness balanced by a brilliant seam of acidity. An amazing value that will age well for 5-7 years, this will pair nicely with pork chops with baked apples, or spicy Thai dishes.

Tasting Notes
Still obviously youthful and tightly wound, with some sulfur noted, you'll want to splash decant this if serving now. In a few months it should open to reveal its appealing ripe pear and green apple flavours, clean, pure and sharply delineated. Some residual sugar plays its balancing role to counterpoint bright, zesty acids, while the finish lingers deceptively long. A successful vintage for this Niagara classic. Tasted July 2021. Score - 89. (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com)
