Description
TASTING NOTE: Exciting nose of peach compote, dried apricot, petrol, limeade, and a hint of smokiness. Just off-dry and creamy, refreshed by a racy acidity. Very complex with a pretty palate. Medium-full bodied, if not full bodied (a result of the partial drying of the grapes), with a delightfully persistent finish. Fascinating. Try it with grilled salmon steaks, spicy pad Thai, or roasted chicken with jalapeno pepper jelly. (Vintages panel, Dec. 2010)

Tasting Notes
The Foreign Affair Winery puts a unique spin on the Italian method of appassimento (grape drying) in the production of this Riesling. This is a vintage with beautiful wet stone and petrol aromas. Although extra dry, it shows sweet-edged fruit along with hints of further minerality. Really tasty, with an enjoyable concentration of fruit on the palate. (VINTAGES panel, Aug. 2015)
