Country: US / 2nd Degree
Variety: Riesling New York
Winery: Four Degrees of Riesling / Seneca Lake
Third in Three Brothers’ series of four Rieslings, this bottling is accurately labeled as semi-sweet, although certainly sweeter than the 1st Degree. There’s a consistency through the series with a savory nose of anise, fennel and petroleum. The mouth is full of ripe fruit—this time juicy honeydew and tangerines—and a hint of jasmine tea that adds astringency to the finish.
