VQA Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Escarpment This is a very pleasant juicy, intensely flavoured, fresh and superbly balanced riesling. It shows great drinkability. Look for complex, lifted, aromas of grapefruit/orange, lemon grass, pineapple and spice. It is very zesty and just off dry, with excellent concentration and depth. Delicious! Last tasted November 2017 when it won Best of Show at the Toronto edition of Gold Medal Plates. Score: 93 (David Lawrason, winealign.com) Aromatic & Flavourful 578625 (M) 750 ml $45.00 2 Featured in Age Before Beauty With “The Grange” now under the direction of winemaker Jonas Newman from neighbouring Hinterland, there is new luster to the wines of this historic property. This is a brilliant, detailed County chardonnay. It has a classic, almost Burgundian nose of hazelnut, peach/pear custard, toast and nutmeg. It is light to medium bodied, bright, elegant and lively. Just a touch sweeter than need be, but so well formed, with excellent focus and length. Tasted often Fall 2024.
