Dry Riesling 2017
Red Newt's flagship Dry Riesling, set out to create a wine that can be enjoyed young but also improved with age. This dry Riesling has everything they love about the best dry Rieslings from throughout the world: savory and fruity, luxurious and refreshing. Smoky aromas that are at once intense and interesting give way to grapefruit peel with time; this is followed by a rich midpalate full of exotic fruit but with a steely, dry finish. White wines from Red Newt include Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Gris, while red wines include Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. During the elevage process, no yeast or sugar are added to the wines.
