Tasting Notes
The 2022 Henry of Pelham Riesling is a bright, expressive white wine showcasing the crisp minerality and vibrant acidity Ontario Riesling is known for. Citrus and orchard fruits take center stage—think lemon zest, green apple, and ripe peach—with a touch of wet stone and honey. Dry but fruit-forward, this wine finishes clean, zippy, and refreshing.
Winemaker Notes
Aromas
-
Lively and aromatic with notes of lime blossom, green apple skin, fresh pear, and flint.
Palate
-
A beautifully balanced expression of cool-climate Riesling. Juicy lemon and crunchy green apple unfold over subtle mineral undertones. The wine’s acidity provides tension and lift, while a touch of residual sugar rounds out the mid-palate.
Finish
-
Crisp, dry, and persistent with a mouthwatering citrus finish and stony complexity.
Crafted from estate-grown fruit in the Short Hills Bench sub-appellation of Niagara, this vintage continues Henry of Pelham’s tradition of producing benchmark Ontario Rieslings.
Food Pairing Suggestions
This Riesling’s bright acidity and fruit-forward profile make it an ideal partner for a wide variety of dishes:
-
Thai green curry or Vietnamese lemongrass chicken
-
Sushi or sashimi, especially with wasabi and pickled ginger
-
Goat cheese salad with citrus vinaigrette
-
Grilled bratwurst with sauerkraut
-
Classic German schnitzel with lemon
It also shines as a refreshing aperitif on its own.
