Reviews and Ratings

WINE MAKING
? Hand-picked and hand-sorted from our own ‘Triangle Vineyard’
? After careful selection of the finest grapes, the juice is cool fermented and aged to capture the unique terroir of the ‘Triangle Vineyard’

FLAVOUR PROFILE
? Pale lemon colour with a pretty aroma of white peach and delicate spring blossoms.
? A slightly off-dry, medium-bodied Riesling with juicy peach, apricot and honeydew melon flavours.
? Soft, juicy peach acidity lingers on the finish.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:
? Silver Medal – Ontario Wine Awards 2009.
? Silver Medal – Canadian Wine Awards 2009.
? 4 ½ stars out of 5 - 'The 2008 Triangle Vineyard Riesling is a very clean and stylish wine with a pleasing, fleshy core of fruit that continues to lead the pack when it comes to the Thirty Bench family of Rieslings. There's a lot to love about this lively and intense single vineyard Riesling.', Vines Magazine, May/June 2009.
