Description

Stratus Charles Baker Picone Riesling 2016

Grape Varietal & Region: 100% Riesling from Ontario, Canada

Taste Profile: Generous nose with beautiful depth and freshness. Like all great wines, the nose ebbs and flows as the wine aerates and warms. Ginger, sweet caramel apple, peppery radish, and a slight candied fruit character. Such remarkable consistency from this vineyard. Lovely mouthfeel with great extract from this warm vintage. Rich but never heavy thanks to the slight spice from the 11.7% alcohol and juicy but rounded acidity which keeps the fruit nicely framed. Long finish with ginger, apple skin, and wet stone.

Aromatic & Floral Whites

A lot of the wines in this category comes generally come from higher altitude or cooler climate regions, and often have bright acidity, balanced with fruitiness that cam come with or without some level of sweetness.

They general have perfumed floral, honeyed & spice notes. For fuller bodied styles, they often have an oiliness to them
