Cave Spring Riesling CSV 2023

Beamsville Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaOff 30 year old vines on their Niagara Escarpment estate Cave Spring Vineyard (CSV), this riesling underwent 18 hours of maceration before a native ferment in 3800L oak cask (50%) and 25% each in neutral 225L and 500L oak, with full MLF. It was then barrel aged for 12 months on lees. Pouring a deep lemon hue, this opens with pear butter, green apple, and a kiss of kerosene, before a pithy citrus palate with grippy phenolic sides. Good energy and form in this just off-dry riesling, built for food.Tasted: 16 July 2026Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
