Reviews and Ratings

Kristin Perrin rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Limey minerality, white peach, sweet floral nose.
Very similar palate with mouthwatering acidity and bursting minerality.

Pork with apples. Nuff said.
Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Light citrus lime minerality on the nose, along with subtle white floral notes. Tasty fresh palate with peach, citrus and minerality. Good acidity and crisp mouthfeel.
Terry Jeans - Certified S rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A fragrant Riesling from Ontario. It showcases the nice aromas that come through from this grape in a cool-climate. Chemical, floral, green apple, with high acidity and a little sweetness, this is perfect with spicy Asian dishes.
Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromas of honey, yellow apple, lemon, minerality, and white flowers; quite fragrant. The taste is a mix of honey and lemon, with medium acidity. A nice oily mouth-feel, and a long lemony finish. I had this paired with roast ham, and it was a excellent match.
Courtney Flood rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Lime and mineral and the nose. Peach, apricot, lime, and white flower follow. Not enou acidity for me, but pleasant.
Valérie Dufour - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Notes of petroleum. Well-made affordable Riesling from Ontario. Would pair well with a tarte tatin.
