Here’s a very well balanced Riesling that’s equal parts sweetness and acidity, and delivers a delicious finish. The nose has a candied apple sweetness to it, while the palate has a nice balancing acidity that counteracts what could be all sweet … think of it this way: it delivers a candied peach with a green apple and lime squirt. Sure it’s a little more on the sweet side, but it’s a delicious summer quencher for the patio – and isn’t that what Fielding Winery stands for: Hot fun in the summertime by the lake or on the deck – after all their logo is a Muskoka chair. And speaking of drinking it mid-afternoon (did I say that?) the nice part is the 9% alcohol, which means two bottles is better than one – and it won’t fill you up or knock you out before the BBQ dinner.
