Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A benchmark Canadian Riesling featuring aromatics of elegant minerality, stone fruit, Asian pear, beeswax, alfalfa honey. Well balanced, mouthwatering, integrated alcohol and fruit. Medium plus bodied and ready to enjoy 2016-2022. Pairs exceptionally well with a Thai chicken stir fry, South East Asian curry, calamari, traditional English fish and chips and drinks well on its own. Tasted Dec 2016. Rated 91/100.
Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

The nose offers floral and stone fruit notes with peach, honey and some orange notes on the palate.
Melanie Aubert rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

This is a light-bodied and crisp riesling that packs lots of flavours like lime, minerality, wild flower honey and green apple. Its great acidity makes it a perfect food wine. Try it with shellfish or pork roast. The acidity will cut right through anything salty, so Asian foods would be another good pairing.
