Winemaker Notes
This Riesling Icewine has an abundance of vibrant aromatics including peach, pear, and lime. On the palate, notes of honey, apricot and mango are balanced by a crisp and lively acidity.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2021 Riesling Ice Wine is unoaked and comes in with 219 grams of residual sugar, 10.2 of total acidity and 9.5% alcohol. This is from a year that the winery calls “one of the most challenging harvests on record,” due to rainfall around harvest time by table wine standards. The Riesling harvest was a couple of months later, in early January 2022. A strict selection caused lower quantities to be produced, although the winery says with “high quality.” Indeed, this seems fresh and lively, with a surprisingly perky feel and a juicy finish. It’s on the elegant side this year, not necessarily a bad thing, but it still tastes great. It has the freshness to allow it to age well, so there is no rush. I loved the tangy finish. If you must drink it young, you’ll get waves of peaches and apricots (leaning more to peach this year), and it will taste great. Best After 2022
