Willamette Valley
Oregon
11.9% alcohol
Screwcap closure
189 cases produced
Color:
Early morning sunshine yellow
Bouquet:
Mineral-driven elements of flint and wet stone mingle with lovely floral aromas of jasmine and gardenias. Tart fruit smells of lemon zest and asian pears become prominent with a second swirl. Hints of petrol/rubber and, as the wine warms, a uniquely interesting aroma of buttered biscuits.
Palate:
This Riesling is filled with sweet fruit flavors of cantaloupe, honeydew melons, mangos and asian pears. The mouthfeel is round and full with a finish of those same buttered biscuits found in the aroma.
Food pairing suggestions:
Baked lemon butter fish, crisp duck salad or pair with a chair on your porch 😃 Note: Monksgate recommends enjoying this wine while eating turkey nachos with a pineapple/jalapeno salsa or spicy green enchiladas!
