This allows us to capture a raw, unscripted snapshot of the Niagara terroir; but the true soul of this vintage lies in the rare inclusion of 20% Botrytis-affected fruit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis wine holds a beautiful consistency of style, where the use of wild indigenous yeast creates a highly expressive and aromatic identity. On the nose, the wine displays vibrant notes of tropical and stone fruit and bold layers of pineapple, sun-ripened peaches, and the essential crispness of green apple.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWhile the wild fermentation ensures a crisp, mineral-driven acidity, the Botrytis inclusion provides a unique weight to the mid-palate. This dehydration of the grapes on the vine concentrates the acids and sugars, resulting in a multi-level mouthfeel. You’ll find concentrated flavours of sour candy pineapple and cantaloupe, including delicate hints of jasmine tea. While the palate maintains a refreshing, crisp acidity and distinct minerality, the noble rot influence provides a signature, refreshing beeswax mouthfeel and a dry finish that lingers beautifully.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e This wine creates an excellent pairing for calamari risotto. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pt-1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppellation: Niagara-on-the-Lake\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlcohol: 12.0%\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eResidual Sugar: 21.0 g\/L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDrink now, until 2030.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1YLq3F7ZC0l7WI7ZxD2fg3VDa8yRpUP6J\/view?usp=sharing\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eClick Here To View Wine Technical Sheet\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bella Terra Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44455711015052,"sku":"BT-T-RWF-C-ZZ-00750-24-2025.4419","price":24.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0386\/6158\/7084\/files\/RieslingWF_1_549ee5cf-bfbb-4ec7-8dd5-ebd5ca19a573.png?v=1742325716","url":"https:\/\/bellaterravineyards.ca\/products\/2024-wild-ferment-riesling","provider":"Bella Terra Vineyards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
