Lovely lime vibrancy on the nose and palate of this off-dry Niagara Riesling. Notes of peach and pear and dried apricot. Beautifully made and balanced, and only 10% alcohol (yay).

Riesling food pairings: baby greens salad, pork tenderloin, turkey breast, foie gras.

Terrific Turkey Wine

Reviews and Ratings

Tawse Sketches Of Niagara 2016 is a well-priced Riesling with ripe peach and apricot flavours, pear and a lime/lemon zest finish on the palate. The 2016 vintage in Niagara was considered an excellent vintage and this Riesling shows it. Pair with grilled pork chops and a peach and apricot compote. - Community Wine Reviews

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.

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.
