Wine Review: This pale straw colored Riesling opens with a mild lemon tea bouquet with a hint of ginger. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied and nicely balanced between its fruit and acidity. The flavor profile is a tasty mild mineral infused green apple with notes of apricot and ginger. We also detected hints of Seven-up mixed in as well. The finish is mildly sweet and lingers nicely. The Panel suggested pairing this gem with a coconut shrimp with a mango sauce or Thai food. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Ripe, full of tropical fruit flavors of pineapple, mango and guava, with pastry accents. Offers a bright finish of kiwi fruit and lime, showing a touch of chamomile and cream. A succulent Riesling. A perfect match for strong Indian and Asian spiced dishes. Also fantastic with a spiced duck leg, roasted vegetables and soft cheeses.
