2009 Late Harvest Riesling
This 2009 Late Harvest Riesling is only the third to be produced since 1976 from our organic vineyards. In order to successfully produce a Late Harvest, the growing season has to achieve specific conditions -- primarily even heat and long hang time. 2009 was such a season and we picked these Riesling grapes late in November at a harvest Brix of 32. After allowing the skins to have contact with the juice for 48 hours (to allow more sugar extraction) the Brix had risen to 36! Cold fermentation ensued and was halted at approximately 7% residual sugar to allow for a balanced mouth feel which perfectly accompany the natural fruit components of this Riesling. The aromas of this Late Harvest range from peach and apricot to honeysuckle and the mouth feel is luscious with appropriate sweetness and balanced pit fruit flavors. Enjoy this rare offering as an aperitif, with your favorite cheesecake or over vanilla ice cream. |
