Description This is one of winemaker Ray Cornell’s first wines that he made for Fielding and I would have to say he’s done an admirable job. Ray took over from one of Ontario’s white wine geniuses, Andrzej Lipinski. Some might see that as a daunting task, but Ray has taken up the reigns remarkably well. On the nose, you’ll find apple, citrus, lychee, cantaloupe rind and those telltale spices usually found in Gewurzt. The palate pretty much follows the nose down the fruity garden path of peachy-lychee and spicy sweetness. The colour is the interesting part – I would call it an apricot-orange (yellow with a hint of pink) rather than the usual lemony white … this hints at some extended, but still limited skin contact, which adds extra depth to this beauty. Easy drinking and pleasant with a zip of acidity which keeps you coming back for more.
