A lively, fruit-driven Riesling from the heart of Niagara.
The Estate Riesling 2023 from Tawse Winery showcases the purity and elegance of this celebrated grape, grown on the estate’s Limestone Ridge and Quarry Road vineyards. Crafted under the expert eye of the Tawse winemaking team, this vintage captures the signature Niagara mineral character with a burst of refreshing fruit and crisp acidity.
Savvy Sommelier Tasting Notes
Pale yellow in colour, this Riesling brims with green apple, key lime, pear, and coconut aromas. On the palate, it’s light-bodied yet concentrated, offering layers of orchard fruit and citrus zest balanced by precise acidity. The finish is long, clean, and beautifully refreshing—a true reflection of Tawse’s organic vineyards and careful craftsmanship.
Food Pairing Suggestions
Perfect with spicy Asian dishes, deep-fried calamari, or mahi mahi with mango ceviche. The wine’s vibrant acidity and hint of sweetness balance heat and enhance rich, tropical flavours.
The Estate Riesling is a shining example of Tawse Winery’s cool-climate expertise and commitment to sustainable viticulture. Crafted from fruit grown on the Limestone Ridge and Quarry Road vineyards—two of Niagara’s most expressive vineyard sites—this wine captures the distinct minerality and freshness that define the region’s world-class Rieslings.
The 2023 growing season offered ideal conditions for flavour concentration and balanced ripening. Grapes were hand-harvested and gently pressed to preserve their natural aromatics. The wine was then fermented at cool temperatures, allowing the pure fruit expression of green apple, lime, and pear to shine through.
