Produced from the estate's oldest vines, this is a worthy reserve. This wine shows impressive depth and intensity, with powerful fruit flavors led by Satsuma orange and Meyer lemon. There's a touch of spice and an underlying minerality. A sensational value, but just 50 cases were exported to the U.S. ... More details

Luminous straw-green. Delicate aromas of white peach and herbs, plus riper notes of melon and pink grapefruit; a hint of licorice emerges with aeration. Then fresh flavors of lime, melon and pink grapefruit and a juicy, vibrant texture. Finishes with outstanding length. This packs in lots of flavor while sporting only 12% alcohol; I also admire the impeccable sugar/acid balance (6.7 g/L r.s. and 7.1 g/L total acidity).

The creamy texture sets the stage for apricot, peach, floral and citrus aromas and flavors. Balanced, tailing off slightly on the finish. On the austere side, and needs more time. Drink now through 2024. 820 cases made, 50 cases imported.

green grapes

Varietal: Riesling

Riesling grapes are very rarely blended with others in the development of wines, and for good reason. These pale grapes which originated in the cool Rhine Valley of Germany are notable for their 'transparency' of flavor, which allows the characteristics of their terroir to shine through in wonderful ways. The result of this is a wine which carries a wide range of interesting flavors quite unlike those found in other white wines, finished off with the distinctively floral perfume Riesling supplies so well. Many wineries in Germany and elsewhere tend to harvest their Riesling grapes very late – often as late as January – in order to make the most of their natural sweetness. Other methods, such as encouraging the noble rot fungus, help the Riesling grape varietal present some truly unique and exciting flavors in the glass, and the variety of wines this varietal can produce mean it is one of the finest and most interesting available anywhere.

Country: Canada

In Canada, wines are produced in many different parts of the country, and there are major vineyards everywhere from Ontario, British Columbia, southern Quebec and Nova Scotia. Canadian wineries have been producing wine for over two hundred years now, and the Canadian wine industry has seen significant development and expansion over the past couple of decades, when the unique attributes of the country's produce began to find popularity overseas. The most widely admired Canadian wines are ice wines, which are made using grapes which have been allowed to freeze during the early frosts. This process intensifies the flavors and sweetness of the grapes, resulting in highly characterful wines with distinctive properties, and works extremely well with the grape varietals which flourish in the cooler climate of the country.
