Riesling
Niagara Peninsula
10.2 Alcohol
Stratus Vineyards sits on 62 acres near the southeastern border of the Niagara Lakeshore sub-appellation. It shares the benefits of the region with its neighbours, while enjoying advantages that are uniquely its own. The vineyard is far enough away from the moderating influence of Lake Ontario to grow grape varieties that need warmer temperatures in the summer. At the same time, the lakes proximity helps protect the vines from early frost in the fall. Explosive and immediate with all the pedigree of the Stratus vineyard and philosophies. Kabang! is alarmingly delicious and fair to say... in your face!
Escarpment Riesling that refreshes and startles. Aromas of ripe grapefruit, yellow apples, and floral lemon balm.
Followed by a crunchy, zesty, bright and mouth-watering palate. Plenty of crisp acidity from a classic Riesling vintage balance out the touch of sweetness and deep mineral tones of Niagara limestone.
