Reviews and Ratings

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A lovely riesling with a beautiful nose. Moderate intensity aromas and flavours include: honey, crisp green apple, lime zest, floral and steely minerality. The acidity is quite pronounced on the palate with a mouthwatering texture and a long tart-honeyed finish. This Niagara Escarpment Riesling is a gem! It pairs well with many dishes and particularly well with Asian noodle based ones. Enjoy this light bodied organic riesling in all its glory into 2017-2018, because the high acidity offers quite the potential for aging.
Trevor Sabourin - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Incredibly vibrant, thanks to the tension between high, mouth-tingling acidity and just the perfect amount of residual sugar. The nose is dominated by wet stone minerality and lime, with sweeter suggestions of apricot, yellow apple, honey, beeswax, and white flowers. Some petrol too. On the palate there is tons of ripe, sweet citrus (candied lime, tangerine), stone fruit, yellow apple, and honey, all held in check by intense acidity and more wet stone character. Quite long, almost dry finish, with lemon/lime, peach, honey, and wet stone lingering. Has enough character and acidity to stand up to breaded pork chops/schnitzels.

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.

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.
