Colchester Ridge Estate Winery (CREW)

Winemaker’s Notes:
This intriguing wine begins with an apple nose.Upon tasting, sour cherry flavours envelop the palate finishing with a refreshing orange zest. Light and refreshing but still possessing some depth and character, this is a delightful pair with many dishes.

Blend of Merlot and Riesling wines.

Rate and review Smith & Wilson Riesling 2008.

Winemaker’s Notes:
Nature gives us such a great Erie Shore Riesling. 2007 is apple and red grapefruit flavours, pear and peach with a pleasant fruity, clean finish. It is great with turkey, pork, salmon, veal, fowl, lamb, fruit sauces and condiments, vegetables, pastas with cream and cheese sauces, dressed salads and cheeses.

Rate and review Erie Shore Riesling 2007

Winemaker’s Notes:

The grapes were harvested during the last week of September and the first week of October when they had reached 20 degrees brix. They were then fermented in stainless steel tanks for the next four weeks.

This wine is a perfect compliment to appetizers, seafood, cheeses and light meats. A great pair would be a nice scallop dish with a wonderful light creamy white sauce and some crisp, fresh vegetables straight from the garden. Sounds delicious!

Distinctive dry Riesling zest and uplifting character. A WOW for sure! The tease of peach flavour adds fun to the vitality

Rate and review Pelee Island Riesling Dry 2008.

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.

Sprucewood Shores has produced a crisp Riesling, full of delicious green apple flavours. This semi-sweet wine fills your mouth with suppleness while finishes with a lingering fruit finish.
