Spectator June 2010
The Washington
grapes that we choose for the Sweet Riesling are picked riper than
the grapes for the dry Riesling. We use a small amount of yeast to
encourage the fermentation to stick - or keep it from becoming
completely dry. We ferment at low temperatures in stainless steel
tanks. Like our Dry Riesling, this is another no oak, no malolactic
wine. To stop the fermentation we use our centrifuge, which
separates the yeast and the wine... this concludes the
fermentation. We leave a good amount of carbon dioxide in the wine
to create a lively feeling to the wine - although it's not
spritzy.
The resulting
wine is moderately sweet and refreshingly low in alcohol - less
than - with flavors of pineapple and peach. Our Sweet Riesling
brings perfect balance to all fiery fare - especially Thai,
Szechwan and Caribbean cuisine... or simply enjoy as an
aperitif.
