Becker Riesling Texas
$5.23
This riesling is fruit forward with a great deal of apple and apricot as well as a sublime note of citrus in the mouth. This wine is made in a new world style. New world winemaking tends to favor the fruit and floral component of the wine. At harvest we take a small portion of the riesling grapes (about 20%) and harvest them green – which means we harvest them about two weeks prior to the rest of the grapes. This portion of the wine has a lower residual sugar and higher acidity which is used to give the final wine it’s structure from the natural acid in the grape. This riesling has a 4% residual sugar; it is considered sweet which means it has more than 1. 5% sugar. On the nose floral notes apple hint of citrus flowers on the palate rich sweet berries (gooseberry white cranberry) lime peel and apple food complements spicy asian cuisine rich butter sauces hearty german fare – becker vineyards
