Old Mission Peninsula
Bowers Harbor Vineyards
Traverse City, Michigan, USA
12% abv
$20.00 a bottle
I tried this yesterday and doing the review today.
Appearance: pale yellow
Aroma: faint floral and mild citrus meat,
Flavors: the citrus bite is bigger than I was expecting,
lemon mineral water with an extra squeeze on the lemon, once in a while I think
a note of some other fruit shows up but, the lemon just dominates.
Mouthfeel: pucker power, acidic, very dry, like biting on a
lemon wedge
To the Point: I thought my taste buds were off yesterday and
thought I needed to wait one more day to review this … it is a lemon drop. I had to stop after one glass yesterday
because the acidic nature of this Riesling started to bother me. I think I’ll cook some shrimp and scallops
with the remainder of this bottle. Not
what I think of as a Riesling. Maybe
with this high acidity this Riesling could be aged and the flavor profile may
mellow with time.
