Wine Review: This golden yellow colored Beerenauslese opens with a heavenly apricot and orange marmalade bouquet. On the palate this wine is medium bodied, nicely balanced, slightly viscous, and pleasantly sweet. Like the nose, this wines flavor profile is a tasty orange marmalade and apricot blend with notes of honey and ginger with hints of green tea. The finish remains gently sweet and its flavors drift away nicely. I would drink this wine on its own to cap off a wonderful meal. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: White peaches and honeydew in the nose. Stone fruit, citrus, mandarin, ripe yellow peach, elegant acid structure of the palate. Very long and fresh passing.
