Riesling Ultima

Riesling Ultima Wine Details
Price: $35.00 per bottle

Description: Elk Cove’s Ultimas are our definition of dessert. Opulence in a bottle. Having long ago established a “cult-like” status, the Riesling is the cornerstone of the Ultima line. The 2002 Riesling Ultima is a brilliant pale gold hue, only hinting at what is to come. It shows a lively and luscious mouthfeel with robust characteristics of apricot and honey. A slight presence of botrytis is distinguished on the persistent finish. While descriptors such as decadent and indulgent certainly apply, the Ultimas are always kept in balance with crisp acidity and freshness. Historically these wines only grow in beauty with age. Potential for this wine with cool cellaring is up to twenty years.
