Dense and nicely focused with\u00a0lively citrus fruits to the fore. Lemon and grapefruit pith with some floral, ripe apple and honey notes in the background. There&#8217;s just a tiny bit of phenolic grip here, but the dominant theme is pure fruit and good acidity. It tastes quite dry, but with a fruitiness\u00a0that suggests there might be a touch of residual sugar, even if the wine doesn&#8217;t taste at all sweet. Proper Riesling. 90\/100<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, to celebrate Canadian wine day, a Canadian Riesling.
