Stone fruits aromatics combine with peaches and limestone on the palate. A light sweetness on the finish with balanced acidity creates an ideal wine to sip before a meal and compliments a wide a variety of lighter cuisine.
Winemaker's Notes: The long drawn out season wit a late heat wave made for a wealth of aromatic development in 2018. These conditions are perfect for Riesling complexity and development. The wine was fermented slowly at cooler temperatures and halted to retain natural residual sugars and keep the alcohol low. Producing a wine this way allows you to enjoy expressive fruits whenever the moment strikes you.
