Item No. 94812
winemaker's notes:

The wine has a fresh, lively bouquet, with all the characteristic vivacity of a fruit-driven Riesling. It is very fruity and floral, frank and expressive, and agreeably elegant on the palate.

This is an ideal example of a pure, dry Riesling - clean, focused and true to the fresh and lively temperament of this grape. It finishes dry, fruity, fragrant yet refreshing, and easy to enjoy.

Food pairings: Sushi, soft cheeses, salmon, pork, fish, duck, crab, Asian cuisine.

"Yellow hue. Simply a perfect rendition of basic Alsace Riesling. Floral aromas of lime and minerals. Zesty citrus acidity frames flavors of lime, minerals and a touch of apple. Trails of lime in the perky close."

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
