Winemaker's Notes
|
| A semi-sweet medium bodied Germanic styled wine. Vibrant aromas of peach,pear, citrus and honeysuckle flowers. The explosive mouth-filling flavors mirror the aromas with star fruit and steely apple malic acidity, giving a sweet-tart balance. Sweet, clean and refreshing with a crisp mouth-watering finish. |

| 75 | 73732 | | 91 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | This medium-bodied semi-sweet white wine shows a lovely pale yellow color. But this is not to be confused with simple, cloying-sweet Rieslings. This is no liquified lollipop. Instead, it opens with a complex, lifted, sweet fruit aroma that offers a touch of the scent of honey mingled with white fruits--white peaches, nectarines, pears and melon. The palate picks up these same characters, and adds a touch of citrus zest, crisp apple, and honey taste to the mix. A fine backbone of acidity keeps the sweetness from sliding off the tracks. The finish is super long, and the impression of luxurious deliciousness and the acidity hang in there to the close. In style, it clearly nods toward Germanic wines, with its voluptuous but balanced sweetness. Serve at 50-55ºF/10-13ºC). A really fine value in this genre from one of Oregon's better recent vintages.
Foods: light curries (curried chicken salad with apples); pork chops with sautéed onions and apples; Asian dishes with poultry, seafood or pork; smoked pork chops with apple/jícama slaw; pork steaks or boneless chicken breasts with whole-grain mustard cream, spaetzle with ham and cream; grilled chicken apple sausages with caramelized onions.
