Production notes
The 2019 Gaspereau Riesling is made from 100% Nova Scotia Riesling harvested from three different vineyards: the Gaspereau Estate in the Gaspereau Valley, the DenHaan vineyard, on the base of the North Mountain in the Annapolis Valley and the Fox Harb’r vineyard on the North Shore in Nova Scotia.
Tasting notes
The nose shows a distinct minerality combined with classic apple and floral notes with hints of earl grey tea aromas. The aromatics on the nose allude to a classic Riesling palate; one that achieves balance between vibrant acidity and just the right touch of sweetness. The palate reveals a freshness and minerality that only Riesling grown in a cool climate can achieve. It finishes with a refreshing acidity, a lingering apple and mineral note. Ideal pairings include cream and broth-based soups, pork roasts, seafood, sushi and various fresh cheeses.
