What a great entry-level Riesling! Light on its feet, low in alcohol, and crisp with bright fruit expression, this wine dances on the palate and will quench your thirst in a flash. The unusually warm 2021 vintage provided the Intersection Home Vineyard with an abundance of healthy Riesling grapes. Late leaf pulling helped preserve the wine’s freshness, while the long late-season sun contributed to riper citrus flavours than usual.

On the nose, expressive aromas of lime, green apple, peach, and passionfruit lead the way. The palate delivers exactly what the nose promises, with a linear and effective presentation. The acidity is perfectly balanced, harmonizing with the sugar—neither too harsh nor too sweet. To me, this strikes a perfect balance for a Riesling! (Carl Boucher, January 1, 2025). 473 cases made.
