Reviews and Ratings

Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Canada is putting out some first rate Riesling wines and this is one of them. Vibrant flavors of peaches and citrus notes in a perfectly balanced Riesling. This Canadian vineyard is a sustainably farmed and the Riesling is such a well-balanced example of acidity and sweetness. This is my favorite wine with Asian and Indian cuisine, but I also love Riesling with chicken skewers on the grill, and is a lovely match with seafood like shrimp.
Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Masterfully crafted Niagara Riesling with signature Niagara notes running through this white wine. Niagara tree fruit and stone fruit, stony minerality, tree blossoms and familiar petrol aromas and flavours. Thirst quenching acidity is balanced and welcome. Perfect pool party wine with BBQ sausage. Serve well chilled. I would enjoy this wine over the next 3-5 years.
Tasted: March 2015
Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Crafted from sustainably-grown grapes, this refreshing, low-alcohol Riesling offers aromas of peach, lemon curd and wet stone. The palate echoes these with a stronger minerality, folowed by a citrus/wet stone finish.
