TASTING NOTE: ... The estate Riesling is a blend of the three estate vineyards and has a nose of lime, peach, grapefruit and oozes limestone minerality. It's austere on the palate with perfect balance between ripe fruit and acid with citrus, minerals and peach flavours through a zesty finish. Score - 90 (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, May 8, 2017) |
