Vineyards
Our Righteous Dude Riesling is sourced from a single vineyard block in Niagara’s Beamsville Bench dolomite soil originally established in the mid ‘80’s to early ‘90s.
Winemaking
The Dude abides by the code less is more. – nothing is added and nothing is removed. The fermentation is carefully monitored until the precise balance of natural sweetness and acidity are achieved. This Riesling is righteous, light in spirit, a little sweet, with a dry finish.
Critical Acclaim
“The well-marked acidity gives freshness to this wine. lemon zest and lime notes explode in the mouth. Well done and well balanced.” Score 88 Michelle Bouffard, WineAlign.com
