Pale lemon in colour, Late Harvest Riesling VQA opens with an intense and fragrant bouquet of ripe peach, juicy nectarine, fresh lime, orchard fruit, and delicate floral aromas.
On the palate, flavours of white peach, nectarine, citrus, ripe pear, and golden honey unfold with generous late-harvest richness. Fresh, crisp acidity provides an elegant counterpoint to the wine's sweetness, creating a vibrant balance between lush fruit and refreshing citrus character.
The finish is fragrant and lingering, with delicate peach, honey, and citrus notes continuing long after the first sip.
It's an explosion of orchard-fresh flavour with the unmistakable freshness of cool-climate Riesling.

Why These Pairings Work
