The Notes:

The weather in the summer of 2021 was often variable with a challenging harvest yet the year still produced a good harvest. The 2021 Dry Riesling is very aromatic with lots of lily of the valley, peach and green tea on the nose. Oh the palate, this wine is crisp and clean with flavours of peach, orange and green apple.

The Pairings:

This new style of Riesling, pairs differently than the off dry style. Pair this Riesling with light summer dishes, vegetarian foods or cheeses. Or of course you could drink it on it’s own on the patio.

The Cellaring:

Drink now to 2025 or longer.
