WINEMAKER NOTES
Descriptors: Ginger, peach, and pineapple are the dominant flavors on the palate. Medium-bodied with a prominent minerality and lingering finish with notes of wet stone and lime zest. While essentially bone dry, this Riesling is vibrant, crisp and fruity.
Food Pairings: Melon and prosciutto, roasted pork, turkey, ham, and Asian Fare.
Homestead Reserve Riesling is made by evaluating each sub-block of Riesling on the Hazlitt farms; looking for only the highest quality grapes each year. For this reason, Homestead is only produced in years our winemaker considers exceptional.
