The 2022 Brengman Brothers Wild Ferment Riesling Trocken is a lovely dry Riesling that will impress you with its combination of pure fruit and racy style. The aromas are vivid and bright, with citrus, ripe apple, peach and tropical fruit elements backed by floral and spice tones. The flavors are lively and complex with the peach, citrus and pineapple fruits interwoven with subtle spice nuances. The native yeast fermentation adds a degree of herbal complexity. The finish is lively and lifted, with the racy style of fine Riesling clearly evident. It shows the level of quality one can find in modern Michigan wines.
