"DATE: 08-17-06 Appearance: Pale lemon.
Nose: Peach, mineral, pear, melon and light spices and floral character.
Palate: Off-dry with good acidity, light to midweight. Lovely flavours follow the nose, rich midpalate, long clean finish.
Conclusions: Fruit-driven lighter style of stand-alone riesling should be good for up to seven years in a good cellar, becoming quite complex by that time." lfw

FROM THE PRODUCERS:"Delicately elegant Riesling has been a Maleta trademark since the inception of the winery and the 2005 is yet another example. It sets itself off from many other Niagara Rieslings by a charming light mouthfeel, pure fruit flavor and incredible harmony.

A brilliant pale straw color, this wine shows predominantly citrus notes on the nose with a combination of lemon and lime. Some suggestions of pear and green apple round it out. In the mouth, it is elegantly structured with a fine acidic spine. It is light-bodied with a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and enhance the fruit characteristics.

A fine summer sipper on the patio or try it with oysters on the half shell. Alternatively enjoy it with some Asian cuisine.

Drink now - 2008."
