The soil is primarily a calcareous composition of alluvial deposit with rock and gravel that support excellent drainage. <Br><Br> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Winemaking Notes:</span><br> To retain the intense fresh fruit flavors from the vineyard, the winery immediately presses the fruit gently using a European press. The juice is quickly transferred to cooling tanks to initiate settling and to retain the delicate flavors. Stainless steel fermentation and aging is the preferred method for this bright flavorful wine. <br><br> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Tasting Notes:</span><br> Ventana's Riesling has a tart/sweet composition on the palate. The nose is explosive with apricot, orange peel and flowers. Green apple, honey, fig and apricot mingle on the palate. The residual sugar is offset with sufficient acidity to display a fine balance. This is not a typically sweet California style Riesling but rather an off-dry style that allows the fresh stone fruit components to be forefront but with acidity for a lively mouth-feel. <Br><Br> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Food Pairings:</span><br> Try Ventana Riesling with the spicy-hot flavors of Thai cuisine or Szechwan. This varietal is still one of the best choices with dried fruit and hard cheese. <br><br> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Technical Notes: </span><br> <table style= border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Alcohol:</td> <td>11.97% </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Total Acidity</td> <td>0.65 </td> </tr> <tr> <td>pH</td> <td>3.1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Residual Sugar:</td> <td>0.97</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Composition/Blend:</td> <td>Riesling</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Appellation:</td> <td>Arroyo Seco (Monterey County)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Barrels:</td> <td>Stainless Steel</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Vineyard:</td> <td>100% Estate, Ventana Vineyard</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Soil Type:</td> <td>Calcareous composition of alluvial deposit with rock and gravel</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <br> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/?category=129" style="text-decoration: none; color: #a60000; font-weight: bold;" target=_top> Return to Ventana Vineyards Wine List</a> </P> <P> <LI>Please Note: <b>Case Discount: 10%, 2+: 15%</b> </P> <P><B>Other products in the winery <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Category129" TITLE="Ventana Vineyards">Ventana Vineyards</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product1447 TITLE="2005 Sauvignon Blanc"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/flatiron/images/ventana-Sauvignon-Blanc-05[th].jpg" ALIGN=left ALT="2005 Sauvignon Blanc" NAME="2005 Sauvignon Blanc" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product1447 TITLE="2005 Sauvignon Blanc">2005 Sauvignon Blanc</A> -- <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Arroyo-Seco.html" target=_new> Arroyo Seco</a> <BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product595 TITLE="Ventana 2005 Gewurztraminer"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/flatiron/images/ventana_05_gewurztraminer[t.jpg" ALIGN=left ALT="Ventana 2005 Gewurztraminer" NAME="Ventana 2005 Gewurztraminer" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product595 TITLE="Ventana 2005 Gewurztraminer">Ventana 2005 Gewurztraminer</A> -- <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Arroyo-Seco.html" target=_new> Arroyo Seco</a> <BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product852 TITLE="Ventana 2005 Syrah"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/flatiron/images/ventana-Syrah-05[th].jpg" ALIGN=left ALT="Ventana 2005 Syrah" NAME="Ventana 2005 Syrah" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product852 TITLE="Ventana 2005 Syrah">Ventana 2005 Syrah</A> -- <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Arroyo-Seco.html" target=_new> Arroyo Seco</a> <BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product656 TITLE="Ventana 2005 Gold Stripe Chardonnay"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/flatiron/images/ventana-Gold-Stripe-Chard-2005[th].gif" ALIGN=left ALT="Ventana 2005 Gold Stripe Chardonnay" NAME="Ventana 2005 Gold Stripe Chardonnay" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product656 TITLE="Ventana 2005 Gold Stripe Chardonnay">Ventana 2005 Gold Stripe Chardonnay</A> -- <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Arroyo-Seco.html" target=_new> Arroyo Seco</a> </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron" TITLE="Appellation America Products">Appellation America Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://wine.appellationamerica.com">Appellation America</A> <BR>Appellation America <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
