Reviews and Ratings

Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This is one of the reasons I have come to love Riesling. Citrus and flavors of oranges with a hint of flint combine for a flavorful Riesling. Good acidity and juicy flavors that come alive in your mouth make it the perfect pairing for Asian cuisine, Indian cuisine, chicken and fish just to name a few.
Tawse has won Winery of the Year honours an unprecedented three times in a row at the Canadian Wine Awards. This is textbook Niagara Riesling in the Mosel style, if you allow that textbooks can be utterly delicious. A kiss of sweetness counterpoints waves of fresh squeezed lime and stony minerality.
