When in Rome, drink local juice. Really delicious Riesling. Unmistakably Riesling. Strong mineral backbone, white peach, key lime. #ontario #canada #riesling

Loads of peachy, tangerine notes from a warm vintage. A bit of petrol and big minerality note = prime-time Riesling! Year after year, one of the best from Niagara @cavespring

Bright acidity with lime flavours prominent on palate. Don't see much in the way of Ontario wines in BC. Reminded me of Aussie Clare Valley Riesling.

Muted nose - a little pineapple and orange pith. Pink grapefruit and tangerine on the palate with a plastic/vinyl component and a little sulfur compounds. Maybe needs some time (4-5 years) to allow some of the sulfur compounds to subside.

Awesome. German in style; very balanced. Canada continues to impress.

Very chemical aroma of wet pebbles and a bushel of hay. Dry grasses and herbs on the palate. Tart zingy finish. We drank it with kale and spinach risotto. The tart citrus cut through the rich buttery risotto beautifully which some of us loved but I found too tart.
