Ara Riesling

Ara Riesling Wine Details
Price: $26.00 per bottle

Description: A constellation in the Southern Hemisphere (just south of Scorpius). Named after the altar of the centaur known as Chiron, who was half horse - half man and thought to be the wisest creature on Earth. Ara is also known as the altar that Noah built after the Great Flood. Ara Riesling is only produced when the stars are in the right alignment – it represents power, concentration and ageability. In just it's second year of production, Ara is already recognized as a cellar selection. Only the finest and most complex fruit was selected for this beautiful blend. It has a lovely golden hue color. Although it's a bit closed, there are aromas of slate, spice, apples, honey, peaches and hints of green tea. Tight and concentrated, the superb structure is harnessed by its well-integrated acidity. Wealthy with minerality and texture, Ara promises great things to come ... especially for those who are patient for 3 to 5 years. Only 90 cases were produced.
