Wine Review: This pale yellow colored Riesling opens with an attractive mild pineapple bouquet with a hint of orange and honey. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and polished. The flavor profile is a tasty pear and lime blend with a hint of honey. The finish is pleasant, semi-dry, and lingers quite nicely. The panel suggested pairing this Riesling with grilled tuna or bacon wrapped scallops. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Semi dry Rheingau style Riesling with a ripe, expressive nose of fresh citrus and floral notes. Nice texture and some sweetness balanced by complex minerality with a soft citrus finish.
