Hidden Bench Estate Riesling 2020 750 ml bottle VINTAGES

This NWAC 2023 gold medalist sports wonderful lift, purity and precision. Riesling's aromatic prowess is front and centre with lifted, ripe pear/melon fruit, subtle petrol and a lovely spice I often get from older vine Niagara rieslings. It's mid-weight, just off-dry with fine and lime acidity and a typical Beamsville Bench mineral finish. Excellent length. A bit riper and richer than the lean, powerful intense [2019], but not the least flabbly. Tasted July 2023. Score - 92. (David Lawrason, winealign.com)
