A lovely, refreshing and crisp Niagara white wine made from the classic Riesling grape. Aromas of honey, peach and apricot. A light-bodied, easy-drinking Riesling that will pair beautifully with fresh seafood.

Riesling food pairings: roasted glazed ham, goats cheese or white pizza with mozzrella, Romano and vegetable toppings.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromas of peach, pear, wet stone, and apricot. Light bodied, refreshing, with lots of stone fruit, and nice mineral notes on the finish. Enjoy with soft cheeses, pate or mild cured meats.
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Medium-bodied, zesty lime, lemongrass, apricot peel. Pairs well with chicken nachos and mild jalapeño. Tasted 2017 vintage in July 2018. 89 points
Meg Charette - WSET ADV rated this wine as 81/100 with the following review:

A light bodied, off dry wine. Dominating notes of fresh green apple, macintosh apple and juicy lemon. Subtle hints of peach pit and under ripe pear. Mouthfeel is very tart and mouthwatering. Moderately long, refreshing finish of green apple and lemon pith.

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.
