Wine Review: This faint white gold colored Riesling is almost clear. It opens with a fragrant and appealing lychee and honeydew melon ball bouquet with a hint of lime zest. On the palate, this wine is light bodied with some mouthwatering acidity. The flavor profile is a tasty lychee and green apple blend with hints of wax candy and lime. The finish is dry and fades away nicely. This Riesling would pair well with roasted garlic chicken or a turkey sandwich. – Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Dry, rich, and seductive. The riper vineyard site expresses tangerine, grapefruit, and candied lemon zest balanced with mineral notes of shale and wet stones. The mouthfeel is round and rich with enough acidity to cut through. Pair with lightly grilled swordfish, bratwurst or simply prepared pork chops.
