| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
THIRTY BENCH |
| Bright light yellow colour. Intense, slightly spicy, gently complex, ripe, yellow apple-melon-pear aromatics with lots of slightly spicy, minerally notes. Dry, medium plus bodied, well textured, very bright, ripe, rich, yellow grapefruit, honeydew, wintermelon flavours with a lingering, mouthfilling, lifted finish. A great, still-youthful effort with some hints of petrol just starting to peak through. This NWAC Gold Medal winner has 10.9% alcohol, 19.4 g/L residual sugar and 8.8 g/L total acidity with a screwcap closure. Only 276 cases produced. |

| TASTING NOTE: I would call the Triangle Vineyard Riesling a classic Niagara \"cru\" among a handful in all of Niagara. It comes from grapes planted in 1981 to the 21b clone and dazzles from vintage to vintage and has the stuffing to cellar well for a decade or more. The nose is gorgeous with pure wet stone and seashells followed by lime, floral notes, crisp apple, peach and lemon tart. It's quite concentrated and juicy on the palate with notes of white peach, zesty lime, bergamot, ripe apple, nectarine, waves of fresh minerality, honeycomb, a touch of ginger and a long, lifted and finessed finish. Just gorgeous Riesling here that will improve through 2035. Score - 94 (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, July 2, 2025) |
