2007 Riesling, Reserve, Off-Dry VQA
Short Hills Bench
750mL DESCRIPTION
Some residual sweetness is maintained despite crisp acidity and structure by stopping the fermentation early. Flavours of citrus, grapefruit and zesty lemon. The high level of acid balances and enlivens the sweetness of fruit and body in this truly Kabinett/Spatlese style of wine.
Will age 10 plus years.

FOOD MATCHES
Munster cheese, Thai food, roast pork and fish pates.

REVIEWS / AWARDS
“Love the regular Pelham Dry, but this Off-Dry shows a lingering lushness from late-harvested grapes. Aromas and flavours of beeswax, lime and cling peaches with a hint of clementines.
Ripe summer peach comes to the fore on the finish. Think turkey or glazed ham, but also sweet potatoes due to this winner’s natural sugars.” Rating 89
-- Gordon Stimmell, The Toronto Star, September 26, 2007

“Caution! If you’re not already acquainted with sharp, German-styled Riesling, this wine may scare you. It has shocking acidity, which may cause you to describe the wine as tart until the subtly sweet peach fruit moves across your palate, balancing the wine and tugging your taste buds for more. This is the kind of wine that tastes cold even at room temperature and is especially at home at the dinner table. Henry of Pelham is focused on vinifera grape varieties best suited to cool climates. They do it right.
-- David Farnell, City Bites, Summer 2007
