Lovely lime purity with major mouth-watering action! Light but packed with flavour. Great aperitif or food companion. Lime and green apple, Anjou pear. Terrific acidity and balance. Part of the Vintages Essentials Collection.

Riesling food pairings: barbecued lake fish, sushi, milder Thai dishes.

Reviews and Ratings

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Great value from Niagara, brimming with lemon and lime zest, peach, lanolin, petrol. A beautiful sipping Riesling. 90 Points. (ottawawinejournal.com)
Lemon and lime zest, orchard blossoms and pear drop create aromatic allure. The subtlest kiss of sweetness at first taste is followed by a huge wave of fresh, lip-smacking acidity and more citrus fruit, fresh pear, apple and bracing crushed-rock minerality. Clean, refreshing finish. Source: Vintages Wine Panel, July 2013
