Winemaker’s Notes:
The Redbud Tree, pictured on the front label, is Ontario’s rarest tree. In fact, Pelee Island is the only verified location in Ontario where this tree occurs naturally.
As unique as the Redbud Tree is to Pelee Island so is our Riesling. It is an ideal balance of cool-climate acidity with a fragrant orchard fresh aroma and a delicate peach bouquet.
Food Recommendations:
A perfect complement to appetizers, seafood, cheeses and light meats.

Country singer Trace Akins couldn’t have describe this wine any better … “This is for all you sophisticated ladies out there”
This is one wine that would have been a better selection for Pelee Island’s new wine series marketed to female wine drinkers called “Stepped up to the Plate series”.
This Late Harvest Riesling is sweet, not “ice wine” sweet but sweet enough that you should probably serve this one as a dessert wine.
Picked up lime a basket full of fruits in this one, lime, green apples and pear. The pear was near the end in a nice smooth transition. Very well balanced wine from start to finish.
Could be a summer sipper, or perhaps better as an after dinner cocktail.
Wonderful. beautifully balanced riesling. Sipping with white cheddar slices while listening to Sinatra and Harry Connick, Jr… a great end to a summer day!
