Winemaking Notes

In the past this vineyard would develop a mold infection, Botrytis Cinera, late in the growing season. This vintage saw the beginnings of the Botrytis infection, and then due to an earlier, cooler weather pattern, failed to survive. As a result, we made a dry Riesling style, and the results have been rewarding.

Tasting Notes

The wine possesses sweet aromas of honey, fig, and hints of dates that lead to a refreshing zest of grapefruit and peaches. There is good body on the mid-palate that carries the wine to a crisp balance of acidity, and finishing with a palate of cleansing freshness that lends this wine to a wide variety of outdoor summer fare.
