Growing Conditions
The 2016 growing season was one of, if not the driest growing season on record for the Finger Lakes region. As of August we were very concerned about the condition of the vines and whether the fruit would be able to ripen due to lack of rain. Luckily, just as it looked the bleakest, we received several, much needed showers.
Palate
This sweet fruity Riesling has lush aromas of tropical fruits with citrus and pineapple flavors accented by rich honey overtones.
Food Pairing
Delicious alone or with chicken, pork or Asian dishes.
Harvest
We were pleasantly surprised when we started harvesting the 2016 crop; yields were down due to small berry size, but the quality was outstanding.
