Arcturos Riesling



Citrus, pear, Granny Smith, buttery /creamy mouthfeel, might do with a bit more acidity but pleasant overall.

Medium dry, high acidity, medium bodied. Old gold color. Flavors of yellow peach, apricot and a hint of citrus. Nose opens with petrol. As it breathes, white flowers, honey and toasted almonds. Bought at the winery. Really impressed with how well this aged.

Had 2016 in December of 2019. Enjoyed it more once it warmed to room temp from cellar temp. Not a ton of citrus but some pear and melon. Brought back from a visit to Traverse City. Was better than I expected.

Not too dry. A bit bubbly. Easy to drink by itself.

Smooth, dry, somewhat sparkling. Bought at Butch's Dry Dock, highly recommended. Drank with Katie on the hotel balcony in Holland.

Medium acidity, Riesling demands more Aromas/flavors of citrus, petrol/ flinty notes, pear, quince

Oct 1st, 2016Nice flavor, a bit too sweet and a little short on acid. Better choices in Mich Riesling.
