Dr. Frank Semi Dry Riesling 2006

VINIFICATION:

After crushing, destemming, pressing and cold temperature settling, the wine was fermented at a low temperature. The fermentation was stopped before dryness to preserve the fruity character of this wine.  The wine was racked, blended, filtered, fined, cold stabilized and adjusted for bottling.

DESCRIPTION:

The 2006 Semi Dry Riesling, presenting a light golden hue, shows a fruitier less mineral character than the dry Riesling.  The bouquet is dominated by ripe fruity aromas of melon, pear and pineapple.  The mouthfeel is very pleasant with a good balance between the residual sugar and the acidic backbone typical of Riesling with a long finish.  This Semi-dry Riesling is very enjoyable with spicy food or just on its own.
