The 2019 Riesling which offers aromas of lime, wet stone and lemon sunshine. This off-dry white would be perfect with sushi, Thai and Indian cuisines, anything with mild to medium heat or spice.

Riesling food pairings: lighter fare like fish, poultry and vegetarian dishes, spicier food, Chinese or Thai.

Reviews and Ratings

Lori Kilmartin WSET3 - WSET3 Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This is a great value Riesling from Niagara-on-the-Lake! Off dry with 12.5 g/l sugar - that is well balanced with crisp acidity. Made from a unique blend of 3 clones - 2 from Germany and 1 Alsatian which adds to it's complexity.
Aromas and flavours of peach and citrus. Chill and enjoy on your patio this summer on it's own or pair with your next Thai takeout order! Tasted May 23/2020
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Lovely and fragrant. Aromas of ripe pear and wet stone. Off-dry with mouthwatering acidity, vibrant fruit on the palate, and a spicy, mineral finish. Enjoy with fresh seafood and can stand up to a bit of spice.
