The 2021 Riesling shows why we get so excited about Riesling from Lincoln Lakeshore!

Nose: The nose explodes with beautiful lime-leaf, green apple, peach, cumin, and honeysuckle aromas.

Palate: Those flavours continue on the palate while adding honeycomb, cinnamon, white lilac and the distinctive stony minerality of the Lincoln Lakeshore. This is a classically mid-weight Riesling but has lovely full texture, coming both from the vineyard and the lees aging.

Finish: As the wine sweeps across the palate towards the finish, a bright green leafiness and flinty/minerally sensation appear in waves, leading to an amazing, crunchy finish. The wine will age well for the next decade.

Pairing: The best pairings for Riesling include poachedsalmon, roasted chicken, ham, and veal or pork scallopini

Reviews: 93 PTS Rick Vansickle - Wines in Niagara

The long and steady growing season of 2021 was truly ideal for Riesling, allowing the grapes to fully develop flavour while still maintaining exceptional acidity. Hand-picked and hand-sorted on October 17th, the grapes were picked at their ideal time. The Riesling was gently whole-cluster pressed, and juice was naturally settled. A long, slow, and cool fermentation took place at 12 oC in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine was aged on yeast lees in stainless steel tank for 9 months. The 2021 Riesling was bottled on August 8, 2022.
