Wine Review: This light yellow colored Riesling opens with a ginger and bees wax like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, dry and fruit forward. The flavor profile is a delicious ginger and Bosc pear blend with notes of nicely integrated minerality and a hint of pineapple. The finish remains dry and its flavors and mild acidity show very nice length. This Riesling is impressive. I would pair it with Emeril's crab cakes. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The 2016 Galerie Terracea is a lightly golden wine that shows vibrant aromas of rose petal, lychee, ripe juicy peach, orange comfiture, wild flowers and lavender honey. This wine has a full palate, silky texture and beautiful acidity that enhances the long taste of ripe stone fruit, honey and flowers.
