Wine Review: This almost clear to pale straw-colored Riesling opens with a green apple and white floral bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light plus bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced and easy to drink. The flavor profile is a gentle lime and green melon blend with notes of white peach. I also detected hints of saline and faint minerality. The finish is off-dry and drift away nicely. I would pair this food friendly and very versatile Riesling with grilled swordfish kabobs. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Pale gold in color. Aromatic, with scents of apricot, green apple, and white peach. Fresh fruit flavors perfectly balanced by a racy acidity and a fine, mineral character. Enjoy on its own or with a range of light and delicious appetizers, white meat, seafood dishes, or with Asian cuisine.
