| SNOWANGEL ICEWINE DOSAGE SPARKLING RIESLING Traditional method, Mountainview Vineyard, VQA Niagara Peninsula |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
ANGELS GATE |
| NEW in Vintages this bright pale straw coloured 100% Riesling sparkler is made in the traditional method on the base of the 2017 Organic Riesling to which an initial 5% of 2013 Riesling Icewine is added as triaging liquor for fermentation and then another 5% added as final dosage liquor upon disgorgement. The result is very pleasant. The nose is slightly spicy with a faintly honeyed, ripe apple purée and orange citrus nose along with some mineral notes. It is fairly dry on the palate and medium to medium-light bodied with bright, gently spicy, honeyed, ripe apple-orange-melon fruit flavours and a lingering, harmonious, gently effervescent, fairly crisp finish. Ready-to-drink, it has 11% alcohol, 31 g/L residual sugar and 6.5 g/L total acidity with with lot number 17285218 on the lower part of the glass bottle. |

| TASTING NOTE: Angels Gate is one of Ontario's most renowned producers of sparkling wines, and this is a new addition to their stable. It's made from Riesling harvested from a single vineyard and finished with a dose of Riesling Icewine. Expect a sweet-and-tangy interplay of citrus preserves, poached pear and applesauce, and pair with seafood tempura, spicy pork entrees or fruit desserts. |
