WINE DESCRIPTION

Alba Vineyard's Dry Riesling is a standout wine from the New Jersey region. Produced by the renowned Alba Vineyard, this wine is made from grapes grown in the estate's vineyards, which are situated on a hillside overlooking the Musconetcong River. The vineyard's unique microclimate, with its cool breezes and well-drained soils, allows for the production of high-quality Riesling grapes. The winemaking process involves a gentle pressing of the grapes and a slow, cool fermentation to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the fruit. The resulting wine is crisp and refreshing, with notes of citrus and stone fruit, and a bright acidity that makes it a perfect pairing for seafood and spicy dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Alba Vineyard Dry Riesling is a lively, vibrant white wine that offers a delightful combination of tart citrus, ripe pear and crisp minerality.On the palate, it is light-bodied and zesty, with a juicy burst of acidity that leads to a long, refreshing finish. Enjoy its bright fruit and lively acidity with seafood dishes or on its own.

ORIGINS

Winery: Alba Vineyard

Region: New Jersey

New Jersey is a state located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. It is bordered by New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the Atlantic Ocean. With a long history of winemaking, New Jersey is now emerging as a major player in the US wine scene. New Jersey has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the 1600s when Dutch settlers planted the first vines in the state. In the 1700s, the British took over and continued to cultivate the vineyards. By the 1800s, New Jersey had become one of the largest wine-producing states in the US. However, Prohibition in the 1920s put an end to the state's winemaking industry. It wasn't until the 1980s that winemaking began to make a comeback in New Jersey.
