Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This wine leads with perfumed fragrances of fresh apple blossom, wildflower, ripe pear, green apple candy, and supple stone fruit. A mouthwatering palate displays racy green apple, lemon curd and a chalky, mineral tartness.
Vineyard Notes
The 2022 harvest conditions in Niagara were for the most part favourable. A prolonged, harsh winter did yield some damage to several vineyards across the region. Despite this, we were favoured with an extended sun-filled summer ideal for ripening, and by early September we harvested our first fruit for sparkling. Due to the winter damage, we saw a reduced crop load, but an upswing in quality. Through autumn, we enjoyed fair weather with minimal rainfall. Harvest was completed on November 4th, a beautiful warm and sunny
day for bringing in our last fruit of the season, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Production Notes
The fruit for this elegant Riesling came from our very best Niagara Peninsula vineyards. The fruit was destemmed and immediately pressed to extract abundant varietal characteristics and cold fermented at 14°C for two weeks. Fermentation was arrested at the opportune moment to specifically to capture the perfect sugar and acid balance.
Food Pairing Notes
This very versatile wine shows best when paired with dishes like classic ramen with pork and assorted vegetables, grilled vegie sandwich with hummus, tahini, and candied lemon and currywurst on garlic naan with pickled onion and yogurt drizzle. Try it with Gouda, Muenster and Comte cheeses.
