Harvest
All the grapes for the Ridgepoint Wines 2004 Riesling Medium-Dry were harvested from our escarpment estate Cherry Avenue vineyards.

Winemaking
As with our dry Riesling, the grapes for the Ridgepoint Wines 2004 Riesling Medium-Dry were crushed and destemmed, then cold-settled for 24 hours in stainless steel tanks. The juice was inoculated with a yeast strain cultured to retain varietal flavours and add a softer mouthfeel, and cool-fermented at 12-14°C to retain aromatics.

Winemaker's notes
The inviting appearance of yellow with green reflexes leads way to floral and citrus aromas with hints of petrol. This wine has classic peach, yellow plum flavours and a dynamic presentation of sweetness and acidity on the palette.

Food pairings
Enjoy this wine on its own while watching your favorite show on the Food network. It is wonderful to present to guests as an aperitif, or with dishes with a cream based sauce.
