This early bottling from the most awaited (and very likely the best) vintage in Niagara’s history shows ripe apple and
peach, with a slate quality from the limestone soils. Mid-weight and off-dry, with a great acid core and light body (10.5 per cent alcohol). Simple, yet has tang and precision, like a Mosel riesling from Germany. www.featherstonewinery.ca.
