Winemaker Notes
This semi-sweet Riesling contains natural Riesling grape sugars, providing
a delicate sweetness and true flavor. We stopped the fermentation on this
wine early, allowing natural sugars from the grapes to remain. This practice
creates a Riesling with a slightly lower ABV and a sweetness in every sip,
without compromising the bright, juicy flavors of the wine
Food Pairing Notes
One of our favorite “daytime” wines, this Riesling makes a great match for salty snacks, light salads & sandwiches, and its sweetness nicely balances spicy dishes & pungent cheeses.
