Tony Aspler’s Weekly Wine Pick: An Ontario riesling

Cave Spring’s winemaker Angelo Pavan makes a mean Riesling in the best sense of the word. His 2012 Estate Riesling from the Beamsville Bench is light straw in colour, with a minerally nose of freshly squeezed lime and honey. Crisp and dry on the palate, its bracing acidity carries the lime and grapefruit flavours to a satisfying finish.

Food match: seafood; grilled fish.

 

Cave Spring Riesling Estate, 2012, Ontario, $17.95 (Vintages #286377)
