Wine Details

Description:
Why Riesling? Riesling is elegance. Riesling is balance. Riesling is vibrant…indefinable by a single style. Riesling is an improvised harmony of sugar and acid, sung by nature and accompanied by the winemaker. Left Foot Charley’s debut Riesling was grown during a cool 2004 summer. The lame summer segued into a perfectly warm, sunny autumn on Old Mission Peninsula. This ripened the sugars while the acids remained firm. The fermentation lasted weeks before petering out with less than 1% residual sugar remaining. We let the wine simmer down and meld with the yeast for five months. Left Foot Charley likes his Riesling slightly dry – with Michigan whitefish. We bottled 200 cases. There would have been more if not for those scrappy starlings. Next year Charley will outsmart them. He’d better - next year he’ll have a second vineyard to tend …Pinot Grigio!
