Style:  Light and crisp white wine.

Terroir/Region:  Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery is located on the north shore of Lake Erie. The VQA Lake Erie area is known for its long growing season and abundance of sunshine. The soil composition was greatly affected by the glacial lakes adding unsorted stony materials to the area. The lake breeze moderates the growing season and helps produce strong harvests.

Producer:  Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery represents the fulfillment of a dream that Hannah and Gord Mitchell had when they purchased their 52-acre farm on Lake Erie 44 years ago. They planted their vineyard in 1991 and began producing excellent vintages soon thereafter. After the grand opening of their winery in 2007, Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery has produced many delightful VQA wines that display Ontario’s winemaking prowess.

Availability:  Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery Riesling is available year-round in the Ontario VQA section at the LCBO. To make things even better, the wine is on sale for $2.00 off until this Sunday, October 8, so it’s the perfect time to stock up for Thanksgiving dinner!
