Lovely honeysuckle and apple blossom on the nose and palate of this vibrant, mouth-watering Niagara white wine made from Riesling grapes. Light-bodied but packed with flavour and acidity. Pair with fresh seafood.

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

Reviews and Ratings

Tania Thomas - CSW, WSET ADV rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

With a long and warm ripening season Niagara’s Riesling thrived in 2015. Just off-dry, bright and fruit-forward, it was crafted with the addition of unfermented juice (süssreserve) to perfectly balance acidity and its natural sweetness. It delivers abundant aromas and flavours of lemon drops, green apples, ripe peaches and honey with a touch of minerality. Perfect for spring and summer patio sipping and a great match with slightly spicy dishes.
Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Delightful and highly aromatic with bright tree fruit flavours and touch of citrus on nose and palate. Medium-dry with elegant perfumed finish. Low alcohol at 10.1%.
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This is a great off-dry Riesling with 27g/l residual sugar. Refreshing summer sipper with balanced acidity. Wonderful pairing with Szechuan crispy beef or other moderately sweet Asian fusion dishes @jonsteeves rated 89/100 tasted at #tasteontario2016
Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Rosewood's popular Süssreserve Riesling benefits from a top-up of pure unfermented sweet Riesling juice to add an extra bit of refreshing delicious flavour to this unique style of wine. Off dry, it's loaded with sweet orchard fruit, with a sweet and tangy finish. Terrific with spicy Asian dishes, BBQ fare, or fresh summer salads with balsamic dressing and fresh cut fruit. Tasted April 2016. 88 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
