2019 RIESLING ICE WINE

DESERT WINE

Notes from the Winemaker

The Riesling Ice Wine 2019 is a small-batch wine made from fruit harvested in the winter wonderland of Northern Michigan. Aromas of apricot, dried stone fruit, and honey entice the nose. Robust, powerful and smooth. Notes of apricot and fig are viscous on the palate. This ice wine's ample sweetness balances its high acidity, making it perfect for an after-dinner treat.

Production Notes

Fruit endures dropping temperatures, left to hang on the vinesto freeze until February. Harvested on a crisp morning and immediately pressed to produce juice almost as sweet as maple syrup. Fermentation took three months due to the stressful environment that the yeast had to endure.
