Casa Dea - 2008 Riesling

 

$16.95  11.2% 750mL VQA Prince Edward County

This dry, zippy Riesling is a good representation of what the minerality of the county soil lends to our wines. The lemon zest "pops" your pallet, allowing the underlying hints of the tropics to follow.

A truly zesty Riesling, which pairs well with grilled salmon or chicken.

By Chadsey's Cairns - Riesling


2007 Riesling: $19.00 Lively citrus notes, mineral undertones and a crisp grapefruit finish.  Wonderful on its own at the cocktail hour. Refreshing and elegant at the dinner table, particularly with salmon.

NOTES ON RIESLING

(pronounced REES-ling) A great classic wine that tastes nothing like the sweet versions many of us cut our teeth on during our early wine drinking days.  A dry Johannisberg Riesling is thirst-quenching and energizing.  One of the few white wines that evolve with age, Riesling is also known for its ability to express the terroir of its surroundings.  Grown on Brighton Gravelly Sand, our Riesling tends to taste of zippy citrus and a distinctive minerality with a floral or green apple bouquet.  The grapes need a long, slow ripening period to maximize flavour—perfect for Ontario vineyards.  [3.7 acres; planted 1999]

Zingy and flirtatious.   Don't be fooled by the term "Medium Dry", this is the same great wine as the Huff Estates Off-Dry many have come to love! This `09 exudes opulence with rose petal, nectarine and star anise amid delicate floral notes adding complexity to the petrol aromas. An undercarriage of refreshing acidity transcends flavors of white peach, mandarin zest and lemon resonating on a generously textured finish
