From the Niagara Peninsula, Charles Baker 2019 Riesling is a rich and juicy mouthful of ripe peach, apricot, tropical fruit, petrol and soft orange zest flavours on the palate. Softly sweet with bright acidity, enjoy this Riesling chilled on its own or pour with a smoked roast of pork and peach compote.

Riesling food pairings: roast chicken, spicy pasta dishes, shrimp tempura, grilled salmon with lemon sauce, duck liver paté.

Reviews and Ratings

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

There’s a whole lot of goodness going on in this bottle.

In my glass, this Riesling is elegant, off dry and shares delicious expressions of peach, tropical fruit, mature yellow pear from its bottle opening to its multi-minute finish.

From Ontario’s Twenty Mile Bench appellation, this creation feels velvety, tilts to light bodied, and features bright acidity with a capital B. May I have another glass to enjoy, please?

I’ll serve this with shell fish as well as hot and spicy meals (because sweet is a nice match for heat.)

Charles Baker 2019 Riesling is a rich and juicy mouthful of ripe stone fruit, tropical fruit, petrol and soft orange zest flavours. This Niagara Peninsula Riesling is off-dry (20 g/l residual sugar) and beautifully balanced with natural acidity. Chill and enjoy with a pad Thai or Peking duck dish. - Community Wine Reviews
