Description:
"Over the past twenty-five vintages, Ste. Chapelle has built an enviable reputation for producing exceptional Johannisberg Rieslings. In 2002, our Riesling grape clusters ripened slowly over a three-week period. The resulting wine shows ripe, concentrated Riesling fruit flavors, crisp acidity and a long, flavorful finish. We began harvesting our Riesling grapes in early October. By crushing, pressing and fermenting the juice at a low temperature, we were able to retain the fresh Riesling fruit character along with a small amount of natural grape sweetness. This 2002 vintage has an aroma of apricots and peaches and a long, fruit-filled finish. It makes a delightful accompaniment to light meals, or serve well chilled as an aperitif." Chuck Devlin, winemaker
