2023 Viva Riesling

100% RIESLING • VIVA VINEYARD • SENECA LAKE AVA • 55 CASES

OUR VIVA VINEYARD, JUST SOUTH OF GENEVA AND 100 FEET FROM THE LAKESHORE, PRESERVES HIGH ACIDITY, WHICH MEANS WE TRY TO KEEP YIELDS DOWN TO CONCENTRATE RIPENING AND WAIT TO PICK UNTIL THE GRAPE'S ACIDITY COMES INTO BALANCE. WE GET TONS OF FRESH LIME AND ZEST OFF THE WINE, MIXED IN WITH GINGER, EARL GREY AND QUINCE. THE SLIGHTEST HINT OF OFF-DRYNESS, AND THE DEVELOPED TEXTURE FROM AGING ON LEES FOR 9 MONTHS PAIRS WELL WITH THE MOUTH-WATERING ACID AND DELICATE PHENOLIC NOTES.

AT BOTTLING • 12.0% ABV, 3.1 PH, 3 G/L RS, 25 MG/L SO2

INGREDIENTS • SUSTAINABLY FARMED RIESLING GRAPES, INDIGENOUS YEAST, MINIMAL EFFECTIVE SO2
