Sprucewood Shores Riesling  2009

Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery has been on a roll lately with their new releases. Three fanastic Chardonnay's, one barrel fermented, one with a little bit of oak and the third with no oak at all. With all the chardonnays going on their Riesling could easily be overlook but you will be missing a real treat if you do.

Excellent value paired with a fanastic Riesling make this a great summer time choice. Looking for a refreshing summer time sipper? This is it. It's light enough to sip on, lots of tree fruit such as peach and lemon followed by a wonderful mineral backbone to make this one the most complete, complex and balanced Rieslings sold in Essex County.

Winemaker’s Notes:
Best served well chilled, this wine is an agreeable companion to spicy or barbecued foods. It is also a beautiful wine to drink on its own on a hot summer day.

Our Pelee Pink is a popular choice during those warm summer months. This wine has been cool fermented (18 degrees celsius) to maximize its fruit flavours.

GRAPES: 85% Chambourcin, 15% Geisenheim

Pelee Island Monarch Vidal 2007 Review

Tue 10, Mar. 09

5 overall score

Winemaketer Notes:
Crisp and vibrant, this richly textured wine is complimented by flavours of citrus and pear with a nuance of butter. Bold tropical fruit flavours, off-dry, easy sipping style.

These grapes were harvested in the last weeks of September when they had reached 19.4 brix. The maturation period was four weeks in stainless steel tanks with the temperature at a controlled level of 16 Celsius.

While this wine is best served with white meats, you can combine it with just about anything. Best of all, our Monarch Vidal is enjoyed most when paired with good friends, a sun drenched patio, or a candlelit dinner.

GRAPES: 85% Vidal, 15% Geisenheim

ALCOHOL: 12.5%
