Description
This is sourced from some of the oldest Riesling vines in Ontario; they were planted in the vineyard's limestone soils in the '70s. It is one of the great go-to wines for people wishing to experience the very best of Niagara Riesling. You will find pear, peach, lime and apple here, alongside a remarkable pure minerality. This wine is always an expressive benchmark for quality and provenance, and every vintage is a new declaration of refinement and harmony.

Tasting Notes
2019 is shaping up to be a cracking riesling vintage, especially from these almost 50 year old vines in the Cave Spring Vineyard. Acids are crackling as per the cool year, very limey and citric, with fine texture and an essentially dry palate - only about 4 grams of RS in this vintage (and indeed, it could perhaps have used a couple of extra grams to tame the acid structure). While still very early days to assess this wine, everything points to a classic vintage, one with surely a long life ahead. Best after 2023, or hold into the '30s without a stretch. Wild fermented; half in barrel, aged on lees. Tasted July 2021. Score - 94. (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com, undated)
