The palate is a rich yet energetic swirl of meyer lemon, gooseberry jelly with tight and juicy acidity and minerality, yet still possessing a rich touch of honeyed texture and a nice blend of mineral saltiness and kiwi fruit. <br /><br />This wine was fermented using 5 different yeast strains of German and French origin as well as native yeast strains in stainless steel barrels (sur lies) for 6 months before bottling in April with 11 grams of residual sugar left to balance the mouthwatering acidity. Our 2004 Riesling will drink amazingly well young, pairing with just about anything you can throw at it, and will age beautifully for 5-9 years or more if cellared carefully."&nbsp; <i>Winery Notes</i><br /></P> <P> <LI>SKU: OOT061 </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://shop.orwines.com/Category1" TITLE="All Wines">All Wines</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.orwines.com/Product368 TITLE="720 Wine Cellars, Or'Deaux Oregon Red Wine 2004">720 Wine Cellars, Or'Deaux Oregon Red Wine 2004</A> -- Judicious exposure to French oak barrels for 20 months gives this Bordeaux-styled wine some serious structure and age potential.
