2021 DRY RIESLING
DRY WHITE WINES
Notes from the Winemakers
Crisp and bright, our 2021 dry Riesling is exploding with fruit aromas and flavors that are supported by a mineral base. Green apple, bergamot, hibiscus and passion fruit lift from the glass, while the flavors of lime zest, star fruit and quince provide its fruity taste. Clean and light, with a subtly sweet mineral finish, this Riesling is as striking as the Northern Michigan vineyards from which it came.
Production Notes
The fruit was ripe and loaded with poly-phenols to contribute richness. All of this wine was fermented in neutral barrels and sur-lie aged for 12 months. We stirred the barrels monthly to help extract flavors from the lees (yeast).
