James Belardo rated this wine as 95/100 with the following review:

The Reif Estate Winery is one of my favorite Canadian wineries for one simple reason... I adore their wine making style. Their white German style wines such as Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Vidal and Ice-wine are well crafted and delicious. Their style is what makes it for me and I enjoy every sip. It's no wonder to me that many of these wines are classified under the the Niagara River VQA. You can taste the care and passion these wine makers put into their wine.

Over the past few years I have found it difficult to find Reif Rieslings in my local LCBOs and so I was overjoyed when I noticed it on the store shelves. It has once again become our official go-to house white wine! Highly recommended!?

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
