Vintage & Viticulture
2009 was an interesting vintage starting off cool and ending with a long warm fall. Vineyard management was more important than ever, crops were maintained low and canopies trimmed to maximize the minimal heat and sun units.
Winemaker's Notes:
Grapes were harvested Nov. 12, 2010 which makes it one of the latest Riesling harvests on record. Juice was clarified using our flotation system and fermentation was completed in 8 days. The wine as then taken off lees as fast as possible to maintain fruitiness.
Tasting Notes:
Also known as Trollinger x Riesling, a rare varietal grown in a handful of vineyards in Ontario with soft grassy notes on the nose. On the palate, a dry style with a refreshing balanced acidity.
Food Pairings:
White fish, baked chicken, vegetarian quiches and salads.
