Natalie's Score: 92/100

Liquid gorgeous year after year, Cave Spring delivers this late harvest Riesling for our drinking pleasure. Apricot peach blossom. Perfect for angel food cake and fruit-based desserts. The Riesling grapes for this dessert wine are picked later in the fall, well after those from the dry style table wine. The result is much more concentrated flavours and fruit sweetness like apricot preserves. Pair this terrific wine with blue cheeses and toasted almonds.

Riesling food pairings: spice cake, crème brûlée, fruit-based desserts, pastries, fresh field berries in cream.

Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Orange marmelade, lemon drop, juicy acidity, clover honey, hazelnut. Golden and brilliant. At 18 years it is well integrated and aging well. Another well made Canadian Riesling wine from the Niagara region. Wonderful pairing with baked apple pie, apple crumble, classic New York cheese cake, blue cheeses, aged cheese platters, and can hold its own, on its own. A pleasure to taste. Rated 90/100 - tasted Dec 2016
