Fragrant, vibrant, and beautifully expressive, Late Harvest Riesling VQA brings together luscious late-harvest character and the refreshing acidity associated with cool-climate Riesling.
Pale lemon in colour, the wine opens with an intense aromatic bouquet of ripe peach, juicy nectarine, and fresh lime. Honeyed late-harvest character follows, bringing richness and depth while crisp acidity provides freshness and balance.
The result is an exciting contrast of ripe orchard fruit, citrus brightness, and honeyed sweetness—an explosion of flavour that remains lively on the palate.
That balance also makes Late Harvest Riesling exceptionally versatile at the dinner table.
Late Harvest Riesling VQA is especially versatile with dishes that combine sweetness, spice, richness, fruit, or aromatic seasonings.
