Tasting Notes: Crisp and refreshing with mineral and light citrus fruit characteristics
Vineyard Notes:
Riesling is a cool-climate grape, making it ideal for the Finger Lakes Region.
To allow for the perfect amount of sun, leaf removal is performed on East and
West sides of the vines. The vines are mechanically cultivated throughout the
summer to control weeds and control vine vigor. Cluster thinning was performed
around mid summer to optimize the fruit quality of this wine.
Production Notes: Cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks is used to maintain the fruit and floral aromas
and flavor of the wine. This wine is racked quickly after fermentation to prevent lees contact.
Upon pressing, juice is reserved to add back at bottling to enhance body, aroma and balance of the wine.
Food Pairing:
Spicy Asian cuisine, turkey and pork, and summer salads.
