Techniques like neutral barrels, lees contact, and cement tanks add body and texture
This Riesling is a light-bodied, dry wine that has aromatics of lychee, white flowers, ginger, melon, saline and wet limestone. On the palate you'll find tastes of Asian Pear and melon, citrus peel, honey suckle, vanilla-tinged persimmon, and dried pineapple. This wine has a persistent acid spine that elongates and lengthens the finish.
About The Varietal
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
Red Tail Ridge Winery specializes in limited-production wines, believing quality is more important than quantity. They produce small lots (sometimes less than 50 cases) to further preserve and enhance the varietal characteristics that they generate in the vineyard. Sensing the potential of the Finger Lakes wine region in the 90s, husband and wife Nancy and Mike established Red Tail Ridge in 2005 after purchasing undeveloped land the year prior. IT took them three years to plant the vineyards, which now have about 20 acres. Nancy and Mike have been challenging mainstream thinking with their plantings of nontraditional grapes in the Finger Lakes.
