Vintage - 2010
$0.00Vintage & Viticulture
We experienced a relatively mild and dry winter and early spring. Bud break was about 2 weeks earlier and May brought in summer like weather. The rest of the season remained warm and allowed grapes to reach ripeness not seen in a couple of years.
Winemaker's Notes:
The juice pressed from very clean, ripe fruit was used with selected yeast for cold-controlled, slow fermentation. The fermentation lasted for 7 days in stainless steel tanks to highlight the native fruit characteristics of this wine, and to maintain its excellent acidity.
Tasting Notes:
Riesling and Vidal marry well creating vibrant aromas of peach, apricot and orchard fruit. Layers of golden peach, sweet apricot and honeyed pear unfold on the palate. The finish is clean and crisp with a fresh acidity. A subtle sweetness rounds out the finish.
Food Pairings:
By combining Vidal and Riesling, the possibilities of food pairings are endless. Poultry, pork, fresh water fish and shellfish, vegetarian pastas, oriental stir-fry’s, and spicy curries work well.
