| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
NORMAN HARDIE |
| This was the BEST IN SHOW WHITE at the 2023 Ontario Wine Awards. Bright medium straw colour, it has an intense, complex, mineral-driven, yellow-grapefruit-tinged, ripe, apple-lemon nose with some hints of slightly spicy meringue. Slightly off dry, medium bodied and well structured, it is surprisingly complex, intense, with lots of ripe apple-lemon fruit flavours with a lingering, crisp, meringue-tinged finish. It has 11% alcohol and 10 g/L residual sugar with lot number L100318 on the lower part of the glass bottle and a screwcap closure. Sourced from a number of sites in both the Niagara Escarpment and Prince Edward County. Each block is individually whole cluster pressed and fermented separately in stainless steel then aged 4 months with no malolactic fermentation. |

| TASTING NOTE: Blended from County and Niagara fruit, this is aromatically reserved riesling with mineral, grapefruit and orange, with fine herbs on the nose. Light bodied, very racy, tart and juicy with some bitterness on the finish. The length is very good. Score - 89 (David Lawrason, winealign.com, April 22, 2018) |
