    2021 Forge Cellars Dry Classique Riesling (Finger Lakes, NY) 2W

    This wine is clear and sharp, showcasing a beautiful core of persimmon, nectarine, and white peach flavors. It's accented with subtle notes of gently toasted almond husk and lanolin, leading to a prolonged finish filled with honeysuckle. It boasts an exotic profile and a one-of-a-kind texture, yet maintains a pure and concentrated essence. It's truly unique and distinctive in character.

    About The Varietal

    Riesling

    Regarded as one of the finest white wine varieties globally, the aromatic and fresh Riesling often navigates between the pristine purity of its German expressions and the intricate complexities of its Alsatian counterparts. Its worldwide presence spans a range of styles, from dry to sweet, defying easy categorization and frequently exceeding simplistic judgments at all levels.

    About The Producer

    Forge Cellars

    Partners Rick Rainey and Louis Barruol created Forge Cellars to explore the unique qualities of the Seneca Lake wine region. Focusing on sustainability, they treat their plots on the lake similarly to an appellation in France, with each “lieux-dits” of their New York region being vilified and bottled separately. We love Forge Cellars because you can truly taste each vineyard plot's uniqueness in every glass.
