From the vineyard that spawned Niagara’s
first rieslings in the late ’70s comes a lovely,
low-alcohol (nine per cent) edition that wafts green pear, lime, herbs and minerality—almost like a sauvignon blanc. It skates on racy, lacy acidity, perfectly pitched against a touch
of sweetness. Displays great mouth-watering
minerality and would complement shellfish
or sushi. www.vineland.com.
