Slight oxidation makes this less brilliant than many rieslings, and drops the rating, but there is pear, spice and petrol complexity, and a rich texture with fine acidity and minerality. Excellent length. The LCBO allotment represents half
the total annual production of this small organic
winery. Vintages. LCBO 66126
