J. Lohr Late Harvest Riesling Arroyo Secco 375mL
| Vintage: | 2019 |
|---|---|
| Description: | The 2021 growing season in the Arroyo Seco was characterized by a very cool spring. The early summer season was the the coolest in a decade, providing gradual ripening conditions for the Riesling grapes, as the cold nights allowed the vines to retain their natural acidity. Conditions in the fall were ideal for the growth of Botrytis or "noble rot" in the vineyard. After several passes to remove any unwanted berries, the best of this Botrytis-laden fruit was hand-picked into bins the morning of December 10th at 31.5 Brix. Winemaker's Tasting Notes : "This wine is the result of our meticulous selection of only the best botrytis-affected berries. Its deep golden hues, firm acidity, and layers of ripe orange, apricot, white peach, orange marmalade, and honeycomb are reminiscent of the great Trockenbeerenauslese wines of Germany. These flavors are carried on the palate by fresh natural acidity and rich texture through the finish." |
