2017 Dablon Riesling

Tasting Notes:  A lovely bouquet of honeysuckle, orange blossom, lime and a hint of ginger meld with flavors of peach, apricot and honeycomb, complemented by vibrant acidity and a refreshing finish.

Food Pairings:  Burrata, mozzarella or feta cheese. Oysters, ceviche, light seafood dishes, spicy or Asian cuisine.

Vintage Year:  A long growing season with a hot temperature spike in September ripened the fruit to optimal maturity. A late spring frost caused minimal damage to Riesling in low elevations. 

Winemaking Methods:  100% stainless steel fermentation. No malolactic fermentation, fined, cold stabilized and filtered. Retained 5.7% of unfermented juice to use for back blending for residual sugars.
