Information

Riesling is a white wine from Canada, notably from the Niagara Peninsula in Ontario. It has a pale straw color and a crisp, aromatic taste. This wine offers delicate aromas of green apple, citrus, and a hint of floral notes. On the palate, it is light-bodied with high acidity and flavors of lemon, lime, and a touch of minerality. Riesling pairs perfectly with seafood, spicy dishes, and light appetizers. Its versatile nature makes it a great choice for both casual and elegant dining experiences.

Fun facts

Riesling’s ability to endure Canada’s freezing temperatures makes it the ideal grape for Icewine production. The grapes are harvested at -8°C or colder, resulting in concentrated sugars and flavors that define this luxurious dessert wine.
