Sheldrake Point 2014 Wild Ferment Ice Wine Riesling (Finger Lakes)

Country: US / Wild Ferment Ice Wine
Variety: Riesling New York
Winery: Sheldrake Point / Finger Lakes

Fermented unintentionally by ambient, rather than inoculated yeasts, this serendipitous wild-ferment ice wine is a fascinating treat. While the nose is touched with hints of saffron and pressed apples, the fresh melon and pineapple flavors are pure and pristine. Remarkably complex, it balances rich honey tones against elegant streaks of acidity, spice and minerals.
