Price Description
A pocket of mature 30-year-old vines has pumped out a riesling of impressive power and structure. Rich aromas of honey, yellow pear, apple and grapefruit are compacted in a mouth-watering wet-stone minerality. Full bodied and a touch sweet, yet with some delicacy. Great sweet and sour tension; excellent length. Could age 10 years. www.tawsewinery.ca.
