Product Highlights
The flagship Riesling from Red Newt, a dry wine suitable for everyday drinking that also has the interest and complexity to reward aging. It's both savory and fruity, opulent and refreshing. Intense and intriguing smoky notes on the nose evolve to grapefruit peel with time, both of which lead to a rich mid-palate that features exotic fruit while still being steely and dry through the finish. Long hang time for developing flavors in the berries was a given, but due to the cooler than average growing season this could be accomplished without sacrificing freshness.

Expert Reviews
Hang on to your hat, because this “regular” dry riesling is spectacularly different to the great majority of this vintage in the Finger Lakes! Enveloping nose of ripe mirabelle with touches of candied pineapple, bergamot and jasmine. Imposing textural richness on medium-to full-bodied palate and so much depth and structure at the bold finish. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
