A founding family winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Reif Estate was established in 1982 by Ewald Reif and is now led by his nephew, Klaus W. Reif. The estate’s vineyard, first planted in 1977, lies in Ontario’s warmest sub-appellation—ideal for crafting rich, full-bodied wines. Home to some of Canada’s oldest vinifera plantings, the mature vines offer a key advantage in Ontario’s cool climate: earlier ripening and greater depth of flavor. Committed to expressing their unique terroir, Reif Estate produces wines that capture the true character of their vineyard—elegant, distinctive, and unmistakably Niagara.
WINEMAKER’S NOTES
A unique blend of 3 clones, 2 Germanic and 1 French Alsatian, giving our Riesling a distinct style and texture. Selected yeast strains are used for slow cool fermentation allowing maximum aromatic expression.
TASTING NOTES
Fresh aromas of pineapple, pear, apple and lemon. A bright food-friendly white wine with a touch of sweetness and balanced acidity. Will match with classic comfort foods like honey garlic sausage and pork chops with apple sauce. So versatile, also think Mexican, Chinese, Thai, or Indian cuisine especially fish tacos, pineapple fried rice, coconut curries, and dumplings
