Wine Review: This white gold colored Riesling from the Finger Lakes opens with a very mild orange and lychee like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, round and balanced. The flavor profile is a mild pineapple and fig blend with hints of lychee and minerality. The finish is semi-dry and its flavors linger nicely after the wine in gone. This tasty Riesling would pair nicely with seared scallops with balsamic reduction sauce or sweet and sour chicken. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Riesling is one of the few varietals that shows exceptionally well in all ranges of sweetness. The Semi-Dry Riesling pairs an appropriate balance of sweetness and natural acidity to showcase the variety’s true flavors. An off-dry style allows this wine to be more versatile and often serves as a wine for those trying to decide between different white styles. This wine remains delicate and fruit-forward with lemon zest on the nose and bright tangerine on the tongue, leaving the mouth subtly coated into the finish. Food Pairing: Asian cuisine, Poultry, Shellfish.
