‘Riesling AF’

Riesling, Niagara, Ontario 

Before you run for the hills, yes, this is an off-dry Riesling with a luscious ‘lil kiss of sweetness and there’s nothing wrong with that! When balanced with tart fruit and fresh, nervy acid, a slightly sweet Riesling can sing, especially when paired with spicy foods, a big ‘ole Croque Monsieur, or even apple and pork – delish! Low in alcohol, high in Great Gatsby glamour and aged for 9 months on the lees in tank, this opulent white is a muse to be mused upon. Petrol straight from a ‘69 DeVille, white silk florals, the ‘honey’ in honeycrisp & a sweet croon of luminescent acid tying it all together. Goes best with gold fringe & tiny little hor d’oeuvres on gleaming silver trays.
