A to Z Riesling

This is our inaugural release of Riesling and we are proud of it! The wine is a bright, crystal clear green/gold color. Fresh aromas of slate, lime, white flowers, minerals and citrus leap from the glass. More complex nuances of strawberries, orange blossom and spice emerge in time. In the mouth, the wine is vibrant and alive with focused and powerful flavors that echo the aromas on the attack. A long, clean finish with final flavors of wet stones and minerals completes this complex and beautiful wine. This wine will gain complexity over the next ten years, but is already drinking great now.

Region Description

(REESE ling)—a grape that comes mostly from the Mosel and Rheingau regions of Germany (where it is a noble variety), the Finger Lakes region of New York, and Alsace region of France, and Austria. Although often thought of as “sweet,” many Rieslings are quite dry. The word trocken on German bottles indicates dryness. The trademarks of Riesling are high acidity, low to medium alcohol levels, and aromas and flavors that range from fruity and flowery to mineral. Also called Johannesburg Riesling or White Riesling.
