A pointed Riesling from one of Niagara’s top names. Chiseled and racy, it tastes of peach blossom, river rocks, lemon oil and petrol. Cutting precision and lengthy.

Charles Baker has swiftly risen to become one of Niagara's foremost authorities on Riesling. Grown from the Vinemount Ridge appellation, that stretches south overlooking the Niagara Escarpment, the 2014 hits all the marks of an outstanding Niagara Riesling - petrol, wet stones, apple skin, and chiseled mineral flavor. Clean, long and precise.

Quel riesling! Parmi les plus vieilles vignes du Niagara- 1983! Petit rendement, élevage sur lie et patience avant de commercialiser. D'une pureté et droiture irréprochable. Bravo Charles!

Really nice refreshing notes of pear, citrus, and slight sour apple. Nice fragrant tone as well.
