Harvest Riesling

Select Harvest Riesling Wine Details
Price: $22.00 per bottle

Description: This was a wonderful year for producing a late-harvest Riesling. A bloom of botrytis early in the harvest season flourished, allowing for picking at optimum characters rather than racing to beat an oncoming storm. For increased color, flavor and sugar extraction we cold-soaked the juice on its skins for 24 hours. The result is a golden dessert wine with intense apricot, honey and peach intermingled with complex citrus and tart apple fruit. Still sweet, but lighter in style than past vintages, this wine is superbly balanced and is the perfect compliment to most fruity desserts. Serve chilled.
