Finger Lakes Riesling is a treat when it is as well-made as this one. Keuka Lake Vineyards is on the west shore of Keuka Lake — the historic winegrowing center of the Finger Lakes. Their 2017 Estate Dry Riesling is emblematic of the quality to be found among modern Finger Lakes producers. It has a forward and attractive bouquet of fresh flowers, peaches, green apples and subtle spice. The flavors reveal a delicious layering of lemon, apple and peach fruit tones backed by floral and spice hints. The finish is clean, dry and refreshing. This is a racy style of Riesling that captures the essence of the grape. Try it this season with your favorite shellfish or fin fish recipe.
