2013 Riesling - Lahoma

Lahoma Vineyards is located across Seneca Lake about three miles from Red Newt Cellars. This Riesling is exciting and racy with bright citrus aromas in the nose, a perfectly balanced palate with a luscious sweetness and edgy acidity, and a lingering finish of white peach and honey. The vibrant interplay of sweetness and acidity create a wine that is intriguing and pairs remarkably well with food.

Lahoma Vineyard Riesling is always overwhelmingly orange-fruit driven from the moment it arrives as picked grapes at Red Newt. This wine seeks to bottle that joyful fruit expression of tangerine and apricot every year in its most exuberant form. Modeled off the balance point of a German Kabinett, it is juicy to drink when young but has the sugar and freshness to reward cellar aging.
