Wine Review: This almost clear colored Riesling opens with ginger and lemon bouquet with hints of melon and petrol. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied and initially high in acidity. That does settle down with some aeration. The flavor profile is tart crab apple and ginger blend with notes of petrol and chamomile tea with a hint of nectarine. The finish was dry. The Panel would pair this Riesling with thin sliced dry cured ham or with lemon pepper pan-seared walleye. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: This radiant expression of cool-climate Riesling offers fascinating aromas of lemon peel, ginger root, peach, orange blossom and golden pineapple, with underlying hints of spruce tips and jasmine. On the energetic palate, the flavors are bright and complex, with juicy citrus flavors and notes of candied ginger, fennel and mango all underscored by a beam of racy acidity that draws the wine to a crisp, dry finish.
