I love Riesling – and I’m sometimes sad that so little of it crosses my desk, which makes me all the more pleased to see this one make an appearance. Subtle aromas of stone fruit, citrus zest and ginger burst to life as palate flavors, with freshening acidity supporting just a touch of residual sugar that serves to keep all the flavors locked in with brightness and length. This suits my notion of a solo sipping wine, or a great pairing for a saucy seafood preparation.
