Niagara Peninsula, Canada
(Riesling)
Producer notes:
"A sunbeam of a wine - invigorating, yet fluid and sensual. It's zesty and focused. Translucent fruit and salinity interweave throughout the body of this (completely dry) Riesling asking further questions about the true nature of this grape in Niagara. A diaphanous creature that glimmers with gentleness and carefree attitude, while nonetheless surprising you with its staying power and the length of pure fruit on the finish." Pearl Morissette
