Wine Review: This almost clear colored Riesling displays a few initial bubbles in the glass upon pouring. It opens with a fragrant and unique banana and apricot bouquet with hints of wet stone and vanilla. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, rather sweet and displays elevated acidity. The flavor profile is a pear and lime blend with notes of minerality and a hint of pineapple. The finish is semi-dry and subtle. This wine would pair well with chicken satay. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This Riesling exhibits a perfumed floral bouquet leading to flavors of pear & citrus fruit. With exceptional balance of delicate sweetness & fresh natural acidity, this elegant light white pairs well with shellfish & lighter poultry or pork entrees.
