      Zesty & Mineral

      Husband and wife duo Ilya and Nadia started Leaning Post winery in Niagara over 10 years ago. Initially a virtual set up, the winery now located on Highway 8, has become a reference producer in Niagara. 

      The 2022 Riesling shows why we get so excited about Riesling from Lincoln Lakeshore! The nose explodes with beautiful lime-leaf, green apple, peach, cumin, and honeysuckle aromas. Those flavours continue on the palate while adding honeycomb, cinnamon, white lilac and the distinctive stony minerality of the Lincoln Lakeshore. This is a classically mid-weight Riesling but has lovely full texture, coming both from the vineyard and the lees aging. As the wine sweeps across the palate towards the finish, a bright green leafiness and flinty/minerally sensation appear in waves, leading to an amazing, crunchy finish. The wine will age well for the next decade.

      The best pairings for this Riesling include poached salmon, roasted chicken, ham, and veal or pork scallopini.

      About the Winery

      Leaning Post

      A leaning post is what you find at the beginning of a row of grapes, anchoring the wires that are the frame-work for growing grapevines. It is the beginning of an obsession to translate a time and place into liquid. Leaning Post wines take you to that beginning by finding small, unique plots of land in Niagara and putting them in bottle. Because after stripping away all the fancy buildings and high-tech equipment you are left with a place on this earth that grows wine unlike any other. When you taste that in a glass you just know it. Nadia and Ilya have had to rely on the support of family, friends and financial institutions to make the dream of owning a winery a reality. Leaning Post began as a virtual winery and is so proud to now have the quaint tasting room at 1491 Hwy 8 on their home property in Winona, Ontario.

      Ilya and Nadia are the brains and passion behind Leaning Post Wines. It started with a dream to take unique, interesting single vineyard blocks in Niagara and turn them into distinctive, terroir driven wines. Nadia and Ilya first met in their hometown of Winnipeg, MB where their passion for wine and each other was born.

      Ilya has been a winemaker in the Niagara Region for the last 17 vintages working at Daniel Lenko Estate Winery, Foreign Affair and now at Leaning Post Wines. Ilya is also a consulting winemaker at the Good Earth Winery. Ilya’s true passion in life is to make world renowned wines from Niagara that really showcase the distinct terroir that Niagara offers.

       It’s just so sad that Riesling has fallen so far from favour with consumers. Senchuk has been a champion of this super-star grape in Niagara since the early days of what was at one time his virtual brand. And he’s never given up on it, no matter how difficult it can be to sell. This expression from nearby Grimsby Hillside Vineyard is world class and is everything I love about this grape in Niagara. Senchuk stopped fermentation at 11 g/l RS and allowed for 11 months of lees aging. The enticing nose shows the full range of saline minerality, lanoline, grapefruit, empire apple, honeysuckle, savoury notes and a touch of ginger. The fresh vein of saline continues on the palate with peach pit, lime citrus, crisp apples, a touch of honeycomb and a vibrant, juicy finish. Can age through 2030.
