Westcott Vineyards Butlers' Grant Riesling VQA

Description

This wild fermented Riesling from the oldest vines planted in 1980 at the Butlers' Grant Vineyard is aged on its lees for six months and undergoes 100% malolactic fermentation. It's finished at 7 g/L of RS and 9.5% abv. This is a personable and minerally laced Riesling that shows a nose of lemon-lime, white peach, apricot, floral notes, saline and trademark ginger notes. There's subtle flintiness on the palate with lovely texture, ripe orchard fruits, zingy citrus, that trademark ginger note, a touch of honey and mouth-watering acidity through a lifted, fresh finish. Can cellar through 2035. (Rick VanSickle,winesinniagara.com,Feb. 25, 2025)
