Riesling

This is the driest White Riesling we have made, with a residual sugar of .85. The first taste shows an impressive balance, and we think you will enjoy this wine. The color is the usual pale straw with a delicate White Riesling perfume containing a hint of tea rose petals. We always tout our Riesling as a perfect match with Dungeness crab, but try it also with Thai and other spicy Asian food, and don't forget what our southern friend says, "This is mah summah sippin' wine!"
