Riesling is the Big Kahuna of Lake Erie whites and this medium-dry version was made in stainless steel to preserve and capture its inherent fruit flavors. Aromas of lemon are infused with light hints of peach and ruby red grapefruit in this popular white varietal vintage. A medium-dry palate leads in to a juicy mineral mouthfeel, followed by a zesty citrus finish.
This is a very versatile food partner – try it with spicy fare, fruit dishes, lobster, scallops and fish, pork, and smoked meats and cheeses.
