Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Meyer lemon, honey crisp apple, and orange blossom compliment a slight petrol note, with a balanced acidity and long finish. Double Gold medal winner, 2018 Michigan Wine Competition.
Vineyard Notes
A cool spring in 2017 delayed bloom but a warm October made up for a slow spring, allowing fruit to ripen to perfection.
Production Notes
Fermentation was arrested at 0.7 residual sugar balancing 7g/L of acid.
Winemaker Notes
Rieslings offers high acidity and strongly reflect terroir. Northern Michigan Rieslings reflect the minerality of their glacial erratic soils. These wines become more concentrated and complex with age.
Food Pairing Notes
Spicy foods, Asian-inspired dishes, lobster, scallops, fish, creamy dishes, fruit dishes, and most all cheeses.
