Riesling

Riesling Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: Balance is one of the hallmarks of great winemaking. With our Rieslings we strive for a balance not only between sugar and acid, but for a balance between two great continents - Europe as represented by Germany’s Rheingau and France’s Alsace and America as represented by us. We love the minerally middle of Alsatian Rieslings but not their sharp finish; the Rheingau offers the beautiful soft floral finish, but with too much sugar. We try to make our Riesling in a decidedly American style: a minerally middle palate with a soft floral finish with just a hint of sweetness.
