2002 GENERATIONS Riesling

2002 GENERATIONS Riesling Wine Details
Price: $19.00 per bottle

Description: Kari Skrip has a love affair with Riesling and feels Clover Hill has a near-perfect growing environment for the grape. The affair all began while Kari was in Australia and couldn't get enough of the dry Rieslings. After years of producing a successful semi-sweet Riesling, it was time to put Clover Hill to the test and try our hand at a dry Riesling. What resulted is Kari's new favorite wine. The Generations Riesling will fill your glass, your nose and your mouth with rich and aromatic flavors peach, apricot, cold tea and honey. The wine finishes clean and crisp with lingering citrus flavors. Bronze medal winner in the 2004 PA Wine Competition.
