Left on the vine even after the grapes reached peak ripeness, this Riesling has aromas of apricot, candied lemon, ginger, and jasmine. This wine is sweet, with tingling acidity that highlights lemony notes on the finish.

Production Notes
Varietal characteristics, those flavors that make a specific grape distinct, typically develop late in the season for Riesling. It is mainly for this reason that we push the harvest dates as late as we can, often picking the fruit after several frosts have occurred and occasionally with snow on the ground. The 2020 season was no exception as we literally watched the effects of frost change leaf color from dark green to pale green to light brown while bringing the last of the Riesling out of the vineyards. Harvested 23-29 October 2020, nine separate Riesling vineyards from two sites were combined into one batch to create a Late Harvest Riesling.
