Riesling

COOL [CLIMATE] FACT
Ontario VQA Riesling is naturally higher in acidity vs. other white wines (think: freshly squeezed lemon juice). Ontario’s cool climate helps keep that acidity intact and will make your lips pucker and your mouth water.
TERROIR
Don’t lie, you have a favourite brand of water.
It’s probably because of the minerals that are (or aren’t) in that water. Ontario’s soil can have the same effect on its wines, and that minerality makes one Riesling unique from the next. Just like you found your favourite water, your favourite Riesling is out there.
FUN FACT
With such a sunny disposition, of course people assume Riesling is always sweet. But, Riesling can sometimes be bone dry, too.

I'm Riesling
Sure, I might seem sweet at first, but my dry sense of humour and refreshing acidity make me the perfect companion for any cuisine—like a lime sorbet at a fancy restaurant, but better.
