WineDiva's Review

Outstanding, concentrated, racy.
The Sperling Vineyards old vines Riesling date back to 1978, making them among the first plantings of Riesling in Canada.
A simply outstanding Riesling, a BC benchmark, which is made from vines nearing 40 years of age. It has a golden hue and notes of warm honey and petrol, candle wax, wildflowers and pomelo. The palate is slick and concentrated with amazing depth, length and purity. Flavours are potent; lime soda and beeswax.


 
Recommended Pairings
Eat your Greens, Good First Impressions, Seafood/Shellfish, Cellar Keepers, Cheese Fondue
