| SMALL LOT WOOD POST RIESLING 2019 VQA Beamsville Bench, Niagara Escarpment |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |

THIRTY BENCH |
| Great Rieslings can be challenging when they are young and especially if recently bottled. While this one will benefit from additional aging, it is shows class and complexity now. Medium straw in colour, it has intense, bright, ripe apple, lemon and yellow grapefruit aromas with lots of mineral notes. Quite dry, medium bodied and very nicely textured with gently spicy, very bright, lemony, ripe apple flavours with a lingering, tangy, mineral-driven, faintly petrol-tinged, slightly off-dry finish. Wonderful with seafood and especially oysters, it has 10.5% alcohol and 18 g/L residual sugar which seems invisible due to a hefty 10.8g/L total acidity. Only 700 cases produced - screwcap closure. |

| TASTING NOTE: Oddly, I had not reviewed this wine until it was five years on. So it is now showing some maturing notes of peach pit, honey and white mushroom, with some petrol. It was a cool Niagara vintage ideal for those who like slim, dry, tart edged yet very cohesive wines. This is a classic example. I would say it is drinking at its best now and for the remainder of the decade. Aromas of peach pit, honey, white mushroom. Quite mineral on the finish. Tasted August 2024.
