Find a better riesling at a better price from any region and you'd be a lucky shopper. The Bosc family at Niagara's Château des Charmes were Canadian pioneers with this noble white grape and they continue to deliver remarkable craftsmanship and complexity at a steal of a price. Dry, light-bodied and precision-tuned, the Old Vines 2013 exhibits green-apple and lime characters along with that prized stony-mineral and petrol quality associated quintessentially with riesling from Germany and northern France. Drink it now or cellar it for up to six years for added complexity. Available at the LCBO in Ontario or direct, fromtheboscfamily.com.
