| This tasty continuously available Vintages Essential has a bright very pale straw colour with an intense, gently spicy, faintly honeyed, fresh, ripe apple-melon-lemon nose with some mineral notes and a faint hint of petrol. Fairly dry, medium-light bodied, tangy, spicy, faintly honeyed, intense, fresh, ripe apple-melon-lemon flavours with a lingering, crisp, unoaked, mineral-tinged finish. Quite ready-to-drink, it has 10% alcohol, 24 g/L residual sugar and a hefty 8 g/L total acidity with lot number 09/02/23 on the lower part of the glass bottle Screwcap closure. |

| TASTING NOTE: A tried-and-true Vintages staple, this Riesling always over-delivers on quality with its pure expression of the Niagara terroir. Able to ripen early thanks to the Niagara Escarpment's warming breezes and dense limestone soil, this wine sings on the palate with notes of lime, apricot, green apple, and flinty minerality. [The National Wine Awards of Canada did not include a tasting note.] Score - 92 (National Wine Awards of Canada, 2023) |
