Weis Vineyards, Finger Lakes (New York) Riesling K 2022

 Although many grape varieties are planted in the Finger Lakes, Riesling remains the star.  The Weis Vineyards Winzer Select Riesling K (the "K" refers to its Kabinett style) shows the juicy fruit and racy appeal of the world’s best Rieslings.  The nose reveals floral scents plus lemon, green apple and tropical fruits and a touch of honey.  The flavors are deliciously pure and complex with the citrus and apple fruits underscored by peach, honey and spice tones.  The crisp edge of Riesling acidity not only balances the hint of sweetness, but also makes the complex flavors all the more vivid and appealing.  If you love good Riesling, make sure you include wines from the Finger Lakes in your exploration.
