Riesling, Reserve VQA - Henry of Pelham

petals, apple, citrus and spice will entice the palate. Elegant and aromatic
with the vitality of fruit crispness, balanced by a slight residual sweetness
on the palate. Food Matches: Rich seafood, pasta with white sauce.
Winemakers'
Notes:
Traditionally, this wine has been at least 80% from our own estate at
Henry of Pelham, the 2000 vintage fitting that tradition at 87% estate.
Our approach has always been to show the quality of this wine by allowing
the grape's distinctive and vineyard specific characteristics to present
themselves, without a lot of winemaking technique or manipulation. This
wine is vinted with the intention of allowing the more intense acidity
and slightly fuller body to harmonize and improve with cellaring over
three to eight years.
