13th Street Winery has been crafting outstanding wines in their own way for a number of years. Located in Twenty Valley wine region in Niagara Peninsula, their beginnings was simple: 4 amateaur winemakers pooling their equipment & land to try their hand at making wines in an industrial-looking garage. Their customers were family, friends and neighbours…but then the word started to spread and total strangers arrived wanting to pay for their experimental wines! Now expanded & with new owners and housed in a converted farm house, they are no longer located on 13th Street, yet around the corner. Their reputation continues to grow, most notably for their array of sparkling wines, dry Riesling white wine and Gamay medium bodied red wines.
At 13th Street, riesling grapes are used to make sparkling wine, table wine and this unique off-dry (winespeak: lightly sweet) wine.

Your sweet tooth will be raging with a sip of this unique dessert wine from 13th Street Winery. It’s not late harvest wine, nor is it icewine, rather a special creation that only the team at 13th Street Winery can mark as their own. Made with Riesling grapes that have been lightly touched by frost creating a naturally sweet wine that is far from the typical cloying texture of icewine or late harvest dessert wines.
Savvy Sommelier Tasting Notes: With each sip, you will notice the layers of acidity, yellow apple & minerals aromas & tastes that make this a refreshing wine with its acidity.
Food Pairing Suggestion: Serve chilled as an apperitif, with a meal of lobster, chicken with a tarragon & cream sauce or enjoy a small glass after meal with artisan cheeses, roasted nuts, fresh fruit salad, butter tarts or apple pie.
