Origin

Cave Spring Cellars is located in the Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada, a renowned cool-climate wine region known for producing high-quality Riesling wines.

Variety

The wine is made exclusively from Riesling grapes, a white grape variety celebrated for its aromatic qualities and ability to produce both dry and sweet wines.

Production

This Late Harvest Riesling is produced from grapes harvested later in the season, allowing for increased sugar concentration and the development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), which contributes to its characteristic sweetness and complexity. The grapes are carefully handpicked to ensure optimal ripeness and quality. Fermentation is controlled to preserve the natural acidity and aromatic profile of the Riesling grape, resulting in a balanced sweet wine.

Tasting notes

This Late Harvest Riesling exhibits a brilliant golden hue with aromas of ripe apricot, honey, and citrus blossom. On the palate, it offers luscious sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity, with flavors of peach, mango, and a hint of minerality. The finish is long and refreshing, making it a delightful dessert wine.

Food pairings

  • Pairs excellently with fruit-based desserts such as peach cobbler or apricot tart.
  • Complements creamy cheeses like blue cheese or aged gouda.
  • Enhances the flavors of spicy Asian cuisine, including Thai or Indian dishes.
  • Enjoy as a standalone dessert wine or with light pastries.
