Lighthall Vineyards is a small, proud, low volume and high quality winery located in enchanting Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. All their wines are produced in a non-interventionist manner and fuelled by passion as hearty as our vines. They also make cheese, designed to pair with their wines.

One of Lighthall's most aromatic wines, this off-dry Riesling is bursting with kiwi, starfruit, nectarine, and a lovely bouquet of white flowers. The classic Jolly-Rancher and crisp green apple punch follows through on the palate with vivacious acidity. Pairs
excellently with spicy south-Asian cuisine, curries, and tacos.

With the little touch of residual sugar in the wine, it makes a great match for foods
with a bit of heat. Spicy curries, Guaitiao (Thai noodle soup), Shrimp with noodles,
or Chicken Masala with mango chutney for example. Leaner white fish like bass,
pickerel, red snapper served with a fresh salad of greens with citrus segments makes a
great summertime match. Creamy fresh cheeses like Brie, Camembert, or Crottin all
are great, while classic Germanic foods like weisswurst, pretzels, and spaetzle also
work well.

90 points - David Lawrason

This is a bold and linear and skinny riesling that is not unexpected from the County. The nose shows quite ripe apricot, petrol, clover honey and flinty minerality. It is light to medium bodied (10.5%) crisp and tart, with a lemon-grapefruit finish. All kinds of mineral lickings on the finish in true County fashion. The length is excellent. For those who know what they are looking for. Tasted May 2026

Nervy, steely, mineral, and bone-dry, this angular Prince Edward County riesling is still finding its voice and should reward further cellaring. For now, it offers a vibrant spectrum of green pear, lemon, Granny Smith apple, and lime blossom. Beneath its taut frame, a deeper layer of complexity is beginning to emerge, hinting at greater nuance to come. Tasted May 2026.
