Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Divinely aromatic nose with delicate hints of lychee, melon and fresh apricot. The palate gives apricot, peach, lychee, slight florals, citrus and nutty flavours. It's dry with bright acidity and a fruity finish.
Greg Hughes rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This wine is sort of a take on am Alsatian blend. It's built around mostly Pinot Gris, with Gewurztraminer, Riesling, and a dollop of Chardonnay.
Pale lemon colouration.
The aromas are closed off when first opening it. Don't overchill it and you'll get some nice lemon scone, almond, pear, and lychee notes.
It has good acidity and freshness to it. Though it is dominantly Pinot Gris, it is difficult to hide the Riesling and Gewurz - and why would you want to? Cactus pear, granny smith, honey drop, lychee, and pear. There is a subtle confection sugar flavour, as well.
Pair this with battered haddock or St. Paulin Oka.
This Ontario white wine produced by Hillebrand is a blend of several grapes. Sweet blossom notes and some acidity. - 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.

The Financial Times of London

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.
