Neil Phillips rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This reminds me - once again - why I just love Ontario Riesling. Well made, it simply shines.

On the palate, lemon zest, hint of lime, tart green herbs, hard white peach. Medium-plus body, there's something to chew on here. Final finish is lip-smacking lime. Nice hint of residual sugar on the finish, this wine is beautifully balanced and only slightly off-dry.

Would absolutely put a few down in the cellar for an easy 5+ years.

Tasted July 2015.
Jane Staples rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This delicious Riesling has a nose of ripe pineapple and minerality. The juicy palate has ripe tropical pineapple, mango & guava, lemon and minerality. A mouth-watering medium-bodied mouthfeel and tropical fruit finish.




Natalie's Review

Flat Rock Nadja's Vineyard Riesling 2013, Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: This lovely off-dry Niagara Riesling is bursting with aromas of fresh citrus, lime and green apple. two weeks later than the parcel below the winery. Although the 2013 vintage in Niagara was a cool one, which benefited white wines, especially Riesling. Remarkable, even though there are 18 grams of sugar in this wine, the acidity balances it perfectly, yielding only a slight impression of sweetness. Terrific mouth-watering acidity for seafood and salads. Drink: 2013-2018. 578625 10.50% D 750 mL  $19.95 Score: 92/100. March 21, 2015 Top Rated White Wine. Delightful Duck Wine  Full Review

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

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.
