2008 Lot No. 17 Riesling
Light straw in colour with brilliant clarity. Aromas of white grapefruit, mandarin orange, lime zest and peach preserves are complimented with subtle notes of lemon tea and honeysuckle. Concentrated flavours on the palate of lemon drops and nectarines, exceptional acidity, balanced sweetness, and a lengthy finish with vibrant minerality.

Winemaking Notes
Maturity in the grapes was defined by the flavours that we tasted while trying to maintain the exceptional acidity that Riesling exhibits on the Beamsville Bench. Hand harvested and whole cluster pressed, clarified juice was fermented at cold temperatures for nearly two months, halted when the ideal sugar/acid/alcohol balance was reached to compliment the flavour profile. Kept on its lees until spring 2009, then cold stabilized, filtered and bottled.
