2019 Dry Riesling – Dobbin

A classic Niagara ‘Bench’ Riesling. The grapes were manually harvested in several different passes over a period of nearly a month in order to provide some additional complexity through the varied acidities, ripeness, and flavour profiles of the grapes. Some short portions of skin-time and extended fermentations in primarily stainless-steel barrels maintained the wine’s brightness. On the nose, is a streak of green apple, citrus lime, and a hint of petrol that will develop nicely with ageing. The mid-palate is consistent with the fruit on the nose and has a tight structure with a racy acidity that gives way to a long lingering finish. The fresh acidity is the backbone of the wine that will hold the mid-palate together for years of cellaring.
