WINE DESCRIPTION
Hogue Late Harvest Riesling is a delicious dessert wine produced by Hogue Cellars, a renowned winery in Washington State. The grapes are sourced from select vineyards in the Columbia Valley appellation, known for its warm days and cool nights, which allow the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves carefully monitoring the sugar levels in the grapes to determine the optimal time for harvest, resulting in a wine with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. This Riesling is characterized by its luscious aromas of honey, apricot, and peach, with a rich and creamy mouthfeel and a long, satisfying finish. It's the perfect wine to pair with fruit-based desserts or to enjoy on its own as a sweet treat.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Hogue Late Harvest Riesling is a sweet and fruity expression of the Riesling grape, with aromas of peach, apricot, and melon.On the palate, it is lush and creamy, with a honeyed sweetness and a tart finish. The wine is balanced and complex, with a bright acidity that keeps it from being cloying. Enjoy this wine as an aperitif or with light desserts.
