| Makes this a fine wine to pair with grilled Sea Bass, cured meats, aged Canadian cheeses or as an aperitif. Enjoy now or cellar to 2015. |

| Description |
| Our first Riesling grape harvest from the estate vineyard yielded only 52 cases. Bold notes of lime, mineral and red apple with balanced sweetness and acidity. |

| 2008 Riesling Reserve |
| submitted by: David Lawrason |
This sports a rich, maturing almost Alsatian nose of honey, peach-apricot, spice and white mushroom - very complex. It's medium weight, with some delicacy and richness. There some earthiness and a touch of burlap on the finish. The length is excellent with lingering lemon and apple pie flavours.
