2011 Rosewood Estates Riesling

When we visited Natalie Spytkowsky at Rosewood Estates Winery, one of the wines that we tried was the 2011 Rosewood Estates Mima's Block Riesling. We purchased a bottle (sadly, only one bottle), and had it with dinner recently. When my husband brought me my glass, there was an unmistakable aroma of Riesling emanating from the glass and even my seriously challenged nose could identify the varietal. The flavor was all of the goodness of citrus and stone fruit with a serious, but delightful dose of acidity that made it refreshingly delicious! The VQA on the label stands for Vintners Quality Alliance, it is a regulatory organization that sets standards for quality wines. The wines from the Niagara Escarpment in Ontario are, to borrow a phrase, "Seriously Cool"!
