2018 Late Harvest Riesling (375ml)
$44.99
Rich fragrances of jasmine and ripe apricot enchant the senses. Flavors of golden raisins, honey, and crème brûlée are balanced with graceful acidity. Full-bodied and opulent, the wine delivers a phenomenal mouthfeel and exceptionally long finish.
The Late Harvest Riesling comes from grapes picked as late as December as we leave them on the vine till the fruit resembles raisins and yields a sweet, concentrated juice. After a long and slow fermentation, the resulting wine is quite sweet, incredibly complex, and absolutely delicious.
