  WINE NOTES
 


Harvest

All the grapes for the Ridgepoint Wines 2004 Dry Riesling were harvested from our escarpment estate vineyards on Cherry Avenue above Vineland (Niagara Region, Ontario).

Winemaking
The estate-grown grapes were hand harvested and gently pressed.  The clear juice obtained by settling, fermented up to four weeks when it stopped at the perfect sweetness.  With high quality grapes and special winemaking methods this wine will age very well for more than a decade.

Analysis
Alcohol/Volume: 13% Residual sugar:
Dryness (Sugar code): 1  

 

Winemaker's notes

The aroma is intense with hints of orange blossom.  This wine is not for the faint of heart.  The complexity is amazing.  Imagine a bowl of ripe tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango with northern fruits such as peach, apple and apricot.  Allow these fruits to marry overnight in the fridge.  The next day when you open the bowl and enjoy the aromas you will have an idea of what this wine offers.  This wine is full bodied with a creamy texture and finishes with a dry, ripe acid.

Food pairings
Due to its complexity it is versatile with a wide range of foods. Try with Lobster tails dipped in butter, shellfish, or roast turkey.
