Finger Lakes Dry Riesling

A crisp, dry, refreshing style. The ‘18 vintage in the Finger Lakes was pretty wet, so lots of growers picked early to avoid rot. I think this falls into that category. The fruit is decidedly on the green Apple side, with lots of cracked stone minerality. Very similar to a good entry-level German Trocken. In the mouth, it’s a bit more intense than the nose suggests, with lots of mouth-watering, crisp green apple fruit and a surprisingly lengthy finish. Straightforward and a good value.

12 October 2018; Weis Vineyards tasting.

Nose of white chocolate confection.
Palate has fresh cut green apple, faint minerals.

Good, lots of fruit, nice and dry, crisp. Not quite as good as some other Finger Lakes Riesling, but far better than what can be found in the local stores

Peach, slightly savory. RS 0.6

Very dry! Reminds me of a traditional Dry German Riesling.

One of my favorites from my Finger Lakes trip. Light. Fruity. Pears and apples. And not too sweet. Perfect and refreshing. I wish I’d bought more.

Minerally, German, dry, smooth, delicious! Another favorite Finger Lakes white. Great with salmon and mussels.

Excellent dry Riesling to start s summer evening meal.
Thanks James!

This is a perfect summer wine. Fruity and light, the perfect wine for a summer bbq
