"This is the best Sketches of Niagara Riesling I have tasted with a complex and interesting nose of grapefruit, petrol, lime, tangerine and apricot. There’s tension on the palate between the sweet and tart fruit with flavours that range from sweet petrol to grapefruit, lime and apricot with tingling acidity through the bright finish. Off-dry, but balanced and ready to drink now unless you like those petrol notes amplified even more. Bravo!"

"An assortment of hand-harvested grapes from select vineyards in the Niagara Peninsula fashioned this delectable fruit-forward, off-dry, low-alcohol gem. Fragrant petrol notes introduce ripe nectarine, grapefruit, Asian pear aromas and a whiff of nutmeg. The palate’s mellow with rich, stone fruit flavours flirting with perfectly balanced acidity and minerality."

92 Points - Louise Boutin, WineCurrent, June 2020

"THE BEST VALUE Ontario’s cool, wet 2017 vintage favoured Riesling, according to winemaker Paul Pender. Here, aromas and flavours of wet stone, citrus and apple blossom are resolute and well defined. While this is made in a medium-sweet style, the depth of fruit and piercing acidity give deft balance. Above all, refreshment rules! An excellent value, entry-level Riesling, it is fashioned entirely with estate fruit coming from Tawse’s diverse vineyards, giving a a focused, panoramic snapshot of the Niagara Peninsula. Drinking Window 2020 - 2024."

The Producer

Tawse Winery

Situated on the lower slopes of the Niagara Escarpment, Tawse is a family-owned organic winery. A life-long lover of wine, Burgundy in particular, founder Moray Tawse purchased the Cherry Avenue property in 2001 after realizing the great potential of the Niagara Escarpment as a word-class cool-climate wine region. In 2005, he opened his state-of-the-art winery in Vineland, complete with a six-level, gravity-flow design, geo-thermal system and a wetland bio-filter.

The inspiration for Moray’s eponymous Niagara property came from his love of Burgundian Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Uniting traditional winemaking techniques with state-of-the-art technology, Tawse and the award-winning winemaking team of Paul Pender and Rene Van Ede, is dedicated to producing terroir-driven wines of exceptional elegance, depth and character.

At Tawse, winemaking begins in the vineyards. We proudly apply rigorous organic methods to every aspect of our production from grape-growing to winemaking and Ecocert seals appear on all wines made from our estate fruit.

Today, having acquired over 200 acres (5 vineyards) and being named Canadian Winery of the year in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2016, Tawse Winery now produces 30,000 cases of wine and has one of the largest portfolios of organic wines in the Niagara region.
