The 2010 Wedding Dance Riesling is a wonderfully balanced off-dry wine. It has a fan club all of it own at the winery. We blended this wine for our son's wedding and have been making it ever since. Sip it and enjoy all the mellow flavors that make riesling a world wide favorite.

The fruit was harvested on the 27th, 29th & 30th of October, and crushed into the press and allowed to sit overnight. The next day it was gently pressed and moved to tank and allowed to settle. After approximately 10 days of settling the juice was racked and inoculated and cool fermented for three weeks at a temperature range of 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit. In post-fermentation, bentonite was added for potential stability and then racked off its lees, cold stabilized, run through our cross flow filter and bottled.
This wine has an intense nose with cherry and black current and vanilla notes. The mouth exhibits tightly structured cherry and raspberry fruite interwoven with hints of oak and cinnamon with a long finish. It has intense varietal flavors and characteristics, long ageing potential and a great food wine.
The fruit for this wine was harvested beginning on the 6th of October and finished on the 14th of October. The fruit was gently de-stemmed by our Euro Select and dumped into 1.5, 2, and 3-ton fermenters. After a five-day cold soak and daily pump-over’s the different yeasts were added to the individual fermenters to provide complexity. Fermentation ran from one to two weeks with a temperature range of 60° to 80° Fahrenheit and each fermenter received morning and evening punch downs. The wines were allowed a three-day post-fermentation maceration before gentle pressing and racking to barrel. After 10 months in barrel the wines were racked off to tank for blending, cold stabilized, run through our cross flow filter and then bottled.
This Rose is made from leaving Pinot Gris on it's skins overnight and then pressing off and making it as we do our white wines. It's excellent as an aperitif or match with ham, cold summer salads or grilled vegtables with polenta.
