Wine Review: In the glass this very dry Riesling is a pale-yellow color with green apple, dried apricot, sweet florals and saline in the bouquet. On the palate, it is clean with a medium-minus body and lively medium-plus acidity. There are flavors of peach, petrol, ginger and lemon zest, along with integrated minerality. The finish is long and mineral-driven. This Riesling would pair well with a seafood stuffed flounder filet. – Mark

Winemaker Notes: The entry-level "100 Hills" wines are produced from about 40% estate-harvested fruit, with the remainder sourced from other local growers who are certified organic by the European Union. It is elegant with invigorating freshness of grapefruit and peach. Amazingly juicy and fresh with lively acidity and a fine minerality. An essential everyday Riesling to be enjoyed with seasonal salads, fresh vegetables, white meats or fish. It's an invigorating dry-style Riesling that is priced for everyday enjoyment.
