WINE DESCRIPTION
This Riesling Semi-dry is produced by Chateau LaFayette Reneau, a winery located in the Finger Lakes region of New York. The wine is made from Riesling grapes grown in the cool climate of the Finger Lakes. This marginal climate allows this cold-hardy variety to achieve full flavor ripeness whilst retaining its delicate aromas. The winemaking process involves fermenting the juice at low temperatures to preserve the wine's delicate aromas and flavors. The result is a semi-dry Riesling with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Chateau LaFayette Reneau Riesling Semi-dry displays a pale lemon color in the glass.The nose is expressive with a vibrant and inviting array of citrus and stone fruit redolent of lemon, lime, grapefruit and peach. The fruits are accompanied by hints of acacia and honeysuckle that give the wine an elegance and floral lift. On the palate, the sweetness and juicy flavors of citrus peel and peach are balanced by bright acidity. The finish is modest in length, but fresh and gently sweet.
