VQA ONTARIO | 750ML

WINEMAKER’S NOTES

Plants came out of dormancy early in spring, leading to vines getting a jump start on the season. There was an optimism in late-August that the crop would match, if not exceed, that of the previous year. But a wet September caused a delay in grapes maturing and shortened an already challenging harvest. An off-dry blend of 85 % Vidal and 15% Riesling, both fruity varietals with fresh acidity, making the wine food friendly. Cool fermentation was completed in 10 days for both wines, which were then blended for the final cuvée.

TASTING NOTES

Riesling and Vidal marry well creating vibrant aromas of honeyed pear, golden peach and lively citrus notes which are replicated on the palate. The finish is clean and crisp with a balanced acidity. The possibilities of food pairings are endless and this wine is a crowd pleaser. Poultry, pork, white fish, shellfish and vegetables of all kinds. Asian fare will be a great match, think sushi, stir-fry’s, and spicy curries.
