The 2019 Riesling Icewine represents a classic take on this noble variety. On the nose there are pronounced aromas of candied lemon, poached pear, honeysuckle, grilled pineapple and mandarin orange. This citrus feel replays throughout the wine and adds a wonderful sense of freshness to the tasting experience. The palate has similarities to the nose but reveals additional flavours of fuji apple, preserved peach, mango and honey. Although this wine is lusciously sweet, it is extremely well balanced by the natural acidity of the Riesling grape and shows finesse as the flavours slowly fade over a lengthy finish.

94 | Light and bright. Good energy though it does not have the intensity or complexity of some of the other wines. Good purity though.

90 | LY, fresh young florals, youthful for its age. Light weighed but sweet, freshened by high acidity, the acidity is up there. Not really complex.

93 | nimble succulent, ripe sweet quince paste and apple nectar, energetic acidity, refreshing mouthfeel, good weight and clean zesty zippy finish. nicely smaller framed and agile.

94 | Very bright crisp, lifted ripe mandarin, grapefruit. Honey and beeswax. Intensely sweet with mountainous acidity.
