Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The grapes for the 2009 vintage of our Silver Series Riesling were harvested on November 8th exclusively from the Delaine Vineyard in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Production Notes
The grapes for this vintage were crushed and cold settled in stainless steel tanks. The juice was kept in contact with the skins for 3 hours, then the juice was inoculated with a specific strain of yeast that enhances the Riesling's true varietal character. The juice was then cold fermented to retain its intense fruit bouquet and delicate flavours.
Winemaker Notes
Brilliant straw colour, this classic Reisling displays aromas of grapefruit, apple blossom and lime underscored with spicy minerality. The predominant flavours of citrus and nectarines are perfectly complemented by crisp refreshing acidity and and extended spicy finish.
Food Pairing Notes
Perfect with spicy Asian stir-frys, maple glazed ham, grilled seafood, curried chicken, pork or beef dishes, roast pork and applesauce, wild goose and soft, mild cheeses.
