This wine is bursting with fruit. It is the only wine we make that could be considered a "sweeter" wine. Wine consumers who enjoy classic, sweeter Rieslings will find this wine will meet even the highest of expectations. Just as we believe that dry Rieslings need to carry a hint of residual sugar to keep them in balance, we also believe that our Reserve Riesling should carry sufficient acidity as well. The nose and mid- palate of this wine deliver intense fruit, while it finishes with a clean, zip of acidity. The burst of acidity on the finish of this wine makes it more than a "sweet Riesling"; it is a complex, classic Riesling in the Old World Spätlese style. This Reserve Riesling #198 is specifically designed to pair well with spicy Asian or Indian foods. The natural sweetness in the wine cuts through the heat and complexity of any heavily-spiced cuisine.
