2022 SEMI DRY RIESLING
SWEETER WHITE WINE
Notes from the Winemakers
Expressing the rich, rejuvenating soil of the Leelanau Peninsula, Bel Lago’s semi-dry Riesling truly tastes like the terroir of Northern Michigan. Scents of petrichor, lime blossom and candied fruit bounce from the glass; while tropical flavors of papaya, nectarine and grapefruit compliment the minerality. Not overly acidic and well balanced with a touch of sweetness, our semi-dry Riesling compliments a wide array of foods from spicy to rich to delicate.
Production Notes
By picking our Riesling toward the end of harvest, it allows the fruit to further ripen on the vine and develop a deeper flavor profile and mouth-feel. Fermented and aged in stainless-steel tanks, our semi-dry Riesling’s fermentation was stopped before fully completing to retain some of its natural residual sugar.
