Fresh, light on its feet, filled with energy and well layered. At 12g\/l of residual sugar, and fermented in a split of stainless steel and oak barrels, this wine has everything.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #212121;\"\u003ePurity on the nose with aromas of lemon pie, wild flower, gooseberry, fresh yellow apple and a hint of ginger. The palate is very graceful and perfectly built. Flavours of zesty lime, green apple, lemon meringue and an array of evolving spice on the finish. Speaking of the finish, the stony and chalky minerality lingers forever. A spectacular wine and very well made.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #212121;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #212121;\"\u003ePicone Vineyard should be considered a Grand Cru site for Riesling, and this is a prime example of why. It is also amazing to taste side by side other Rieslings from the same site, but different blocks, as a horizontal. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Aptos; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003e(Carl Boucher, 12\/07\/26).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Aptos; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003e92+ points, Carl's Wine Club | \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Aptos; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003e90 points Tony Aspler\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h4 inline-richtext\"\u003e100% Riesling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h4 inline-richtext\"\u003eOntario, Niagara Escarpment, VQA Vinemount Ridge\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product__text inline-richtext\"\u003eDry Wine | 9.5% ABV | Drink from 2026 to 2038\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product__text inline-richtext\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e seafood risotto, pork stew\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fogolar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52799256953125,"sku":null,"price":29.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/1984\/6693\/files\/fogolaroldvinesriesling_42de459c-6a8c-47a8-a3b5-496e4982f0dc.jpg?v=1784242908","url":"https:\/\/carlswineclub.com\/products\/2023-fogolar-picone-vineyard-riesling-north-block-%f0%9f%94%a5-exclusive-pre-release-%f0%9f%94%a5-92-pts","provider":"Carl's Wine Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
