Fogolar Hughes Vineyard Riesling 2019 (Niagara) - Wine Review

Tonight's white wine review is a lovely Riesling that I purchased in December of last year. It was a brand-new arrival in the December 17, 2022 LCBO VINTAGES Release and was slated to be opened during the holidays last year, but it never happened, so here we are a year later.

Surprisingly, there are still about 30 bottles available at the LCBO, while the latest vintage can be ordered via Collab Wine & Beverage.

Tasting Note:

FOGOLAR HUGHES VINEYARD RIESLING 2019 - VQA Lincoln Lakeshore, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada (#30664) (M) - $19.95
Screw cap. The fragrant nose offers attractive honeyed and floral characters nuanced with lemon/lime citrus and petrol aromas. It has good weight on the medium+-full bodied, concentrated palate, with lovely honey, floral, lemon/lime citrus, and petrol replays joined by peach, apple, and leesy mineral flavours. It's medium-dry in sweetness, with a crunchy mouthfeel and well-balanced acidity, while tapering to a dry-ish, lightly chalky textured finish. Highly recommended buy! Score: 90 pts
