Rate and review Aleksander Estate Riesling 2010

Winemaker’s Notes:
This Austrian bred grape produces a medium bodied wine with good acidity, soft tannins and a distinctive red colour. Flavours include black pepper, spice and currants.

Matches well with grilled meats, whire meats, roast meats, pork and pizza.

This Austrian grape is well suited to Lake Erie North Shore and our climate.
