Description:
Our sweet Riesling is fermented from the free-run juice from our oldest vineyard, now 8 years old. As the fruit forms, leaves are stripped away to keep the fruit open to the sun. All of the fruit from the old vines is pressed very lightly, to draw off the sweetest, most aromatic portion of the juice. Only this select press fraction goes into our Vineyard Reserve. A full, silky mouth feel is alive with peach, apricot, and floral tones.
