Flat Rock Reserve Riesling 2009, V.Q.A., Twenty Mile Bench, Ontario, Canada: What a treat! Rich and concentrated with apricot and orange blossom aromas and flavours. This complex white was produced from grapes grown within a small lot on the winery's vineyards. The wine, fermented in stainless steel to preserve fruit purity, employed both cultured and wild yeasts to create a produce spectrum of flavour complexity. This is truly worthy of being the winery's flagship wine. It offers a long, satisfying finish. Pair it with fresh seafood in rich sauces.
