Description From the very first sip to the ultimate and inevitable last tip of the glass, the best word to describe this Riesling is “wow”. The Delaine Vineyard line of wines from Jackson-Triggs, Ontario, is the fruit from one of their premier vineyards, which was planted by Don and Elaine Triggs in an effort to showcase the terroir of the Niagara Peninsula. A great nose of apple, citrus, peach and some petrol aromas does not even begin to prepare you for what’s in store once the wine passes your lips. The apple, lime, peach and mild petrol follow through on the palate, but there are also hints of sweetness that find their way into the mix. It’s here that the peach turns juicy and white, while mid-palate, the tart apple and lime subside to become exotic lychee and mango, then reappear on the long finish with lots of mouthwatering acidity. Food friendly sure, but it can also be enjoyed in a sipping environment all on it’s own. This’ll be a wonderful addition to your summer patio eats and drinks. Did I mention “wow” when I started this review – I must have ... because while drinking this wine I must have said it out loud about a dozen times. Lovely.
