Wine Description:
J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines Late Harvest White Riesling is a superb expression of the Arroyo Seco AVA in Monterey County, California. This wine emerges from a collaborative venture with Michael Griva, where Riesling vines were planted on gravelly, sandy loam mesas near the Arroyo Seco River. These well-drained soils, rich in cobbles, provide an ideal terroir for Riesling. Utilizing Laffort VL 1 yeast, the juice undergoes fermentation in 55-gallon stainless steel barrels for four months, with lees stirring every two weeks to enhance complexity. The result is a luscious, well-balanced wine with a residual sugar content of 97 g/L. J. Lohr's Late Harvest White Riesling delights with its vibrant acidity and rich, sweet flavors, offering a beautifully crafted dessert wine experience.

Riesling grapes were stored at 0°F for seven weeks, allowing them to freeze completely and concentrate their sugars. After three days of slow pressing, the juice volume was low but of exceptional quality. The juice was settled and clean racked before being inoculated with a special yeast for dessert wines and fermented at 58°F. This slow, cool fermentation preserved tropical fruit flavors and stopped early, retaining natural sweetness. Post-fermentation, the wine was stirred on the lees twice a month for two months, enhancing its roundness and texture, resulting in a luscious, balanced dessert wine.
