2007 Chateau Grand Traverse
Botrytis Riesling>>
- Style: Med-Sweet
- Type: Table
- Region: Michigan
The cool wet October weather of the 2007 vintage was ideal for the Botrytis Cinerea fungus or “Noble Rot” to manifest on late-ripening Riesling clusters, causing the grapes to shrivel and concentrate in flavor. We laboriously hand sorted these raisined grapes, berry by berry, in order to make a sweet-style wine of uncommon intensity and richness. It shows beautiful honeyed flavors of ripe pineapple and apricot with a hint of vanilla and cedar in the finish from one month of aging in a traditional German oak oval.

2007 Henry of Pelham Family Estate Winery
Speck Family Reserve Riesling>>
- Style: Dry
- Type: Table
- Region: Ontario
We have been producing Riesling wines from this vineyard site since its first crop in 1988. The crop is significantly reduced with attention to the smallest details of viticulture on a vine by vine basis. This, combined with the contribution that only fully mature vines can provide, gives us the winemaking basis for the best Riesling yet produced by Henry of Pelham. The greatest wines usually employ the most simple of winemaking techniques, in this case a cool fermentation, very limited and gentle handling, and some maturation in bottle. Will age for 8 to 12 years from vintage

Vin de Glacière>>
- Style: Sweet
- Type: Ice Wine
- Region: Washington
89 points! International Wine Cellar
We pick the Vin de Glacière Riesling grapes around 22.5% sugar in order to preserve the natural acidity of the grapes. The grapes are then frozen. The wine shows loads of pear, and some honey and horse radish. On the palate, the wine is surprisingly light and aromatic but not syrupy or heavy. This has to do with the great acidity (0.88%) in the wine. The 10.4% Ethanol makes the wine very refreshing and quite food friendly.

2007 Heron Hill Winery
Semi-Sweet Riesling>>
- Style: Med-Sweet
- Type: Table
- Region: New York
Wine Characteristics
A delicate floral aroma followed by peach and ripe melon flavors with a soft, lingering finish. Our Semi-Sweet Riesling is comparable in sweetness levels to German Spätlese Rieslings. The process by which we sweeten the wine is known as “Süss Reserve” which is a technique used often in Germany and other high quality Riesling regions. Instead of back sweetening a dry Riesling with store bought cane sugar, we set aside a certain volume of Riesling juice each vintage which is frozen in tank and left unfermented. In spring during blending, the juice is thawed and then added back to the wine to the desired level, resulting in a juicy, all naturally-sweetened wine.
Food Pairings
A great luncheon, picnic or cocktail wine. As the perfect warm-weather wine, try with ice and a splash of sparkling water as a spritzer. Don’t be afraid to experiment. This wine offers a wide range of food pairing possibilities from pulled pork sandwiches, curried chicken, grilled salmon with mango salsa or as an apéritif.

Riesling - Black Label>>
- Style: Dry
- Type: Table
- Region: California
As I taste through the barrels in preparation of making final blends, I invariably come across a barrel that is positively special. The characters may be intense or subtle, unusually fruity or complex, but the single barrel screams be bottled separately to retain the unique aspects that show the exquisite nature of our diverse vineyards. Single-vineyard lots are traditionally bottled unfined and unfiltered. These wines exhibit a purity and a sense of place seldom seen in California wine
It There is no wonder why Riesling is considered one of the four noble varieties of the world when one tastes the ’07 Black Label Riesling. Boldly Riesling with a nod to distinct styles, this wine exemplifies classic European structure with a splash of California fruit. The undeniable impact of our high-elevation vineyards is the complexity of the nose in this wine. Gooseberry, lemon tart and tart green apple vie for the most intense character while being framed by an enticing fusil oil richness. Spend a moment longer on the bouquet, and the fruit shifts to kiwi, pineapple and lime.
All of the high-acid fruit characters in the aromas meld together on the palate, constantly refreshing the experience. Lime then apple, kiwi then lemon, and the revolution of the fruit just continues on, but always held together with the minerality of great Riesling on the edges. Tart and fresh, the texture is bright, but uncommonly rich for such an acidic wine, which is positively playful with the senses. A great vintage for making a great wine, there is no question why we decided showcase our vineyard-designate wines with this Riesling!

This is a dry, crisp, refreshing style of Riesling offering the brisk, Riesling character of white peach and mandarin oranges with a clean finish.

Dimples only deepen upon the first taste, with cantaloupe, lemon, fennel, and especially white peaches playing off each other in delightful balance.

2008 Madrona Vineyards
Riesling - Speciality Collection>>
- Style: Sweet
- Type: Late Harvest
- Region: California
Select Harvest Rieslings are rare and relatively difficult to make. Produced from Riesling infected by the Noble Rot (Botrytis Cineria) in years when the climate is just perfect (rains during the harvest followed by warm, dry conditions), the berries are dehydrated due to the mold. Although the resulting juice is extremely sweet (30%-45% sugar), the acid levels are balanced. And unlike most rots, Botrytis has very enticing characters of rich honey and intense apricot. It is no wonder then that Botrysized Rieslings make some of the most expensive and most sought-after wines in world!
Yet another fantastic vintage in a long stream of wonderful Rieslings dating back to 1985! The 2008 vintage is more akin to a German Beerenauslese, due to the lower harvest brix level of 30 degrees. Thus the balance between Botrytis intensity and Riesling freshness is more intriguing. The aromas are a mélange of Riesling’s tart apple and tangy tangerine fruit married with an essence of mountain honey and ripe apricots.
However, it’s the palate that makes this wine so unique among its peers. The texture is classically rich, yet elegant with wonderful acidity. Medium-bodied and not too sweet, the palate is a glorious blend of honey, carol syrup, apple crisp and just a hint of lemon zest to balance it all. Lingering long into the finish, the lusciousness of this Select Harvest Riesling just makes you dream for one more sip!
