2018 Pinot Gris, Niagara Peninsula – Rated 90

This counts as one of the most surprising wines I’ve tasted this year. Pinot Gris isn’t a grape you’d closely associate with Riesling specialist Cave Spring. It isn’t a variety that usually rises to such heights in Ontario. But here is a stellar expression that offers spiced apple flavours with an enjoyable honeyed character and appealing texture. The price makes it even more attractive.

2017 Riesling, Niagara Peninsula – Rated 90

Made in Cave Spring’s crowd-pleasing house style, this refreshing Riesling is marked by mouthwatering sweet and sour citrus flavours. Zesty with a balancing sweetness, it makes a terrific aperitif or food-friendly (and vegan friendly) dining companion.
