Amity Wedding Dance Riesling 06
A nose loaded with citrus, honeysuckle, and hints of rose, leads into a luscious, full well balanced wine. This Riesling will match well with Prosciutto and melon, mild white fish, fragrant lemongrass Thai Shrimp and freshly baked bread.
The Wedding Dance Rieslign takes its name from the "Wedding Dance" Iris exclusively cultivated at Schreiner's Iris Garden in Salem, Oregon.
MORE INFORMATION
From the winery: Amity Vineyards has been producing Dry Riesling since 1976. The problem in making a dry Riesling is balancing the acid in the wine. In cool climates like Oregon, Germany and Alsace, the natural acidity in Riesling is usually too high to make a dry wine naturally. So the acid must be balanced. There are three basic ways of doing this: 1) Reducing the acid (a method used in Oregon and Washington); 2) Using residual or added sugar (the method of choice in Germany); or 3) Increasing the alcohol (this is the method used in Alsace). At Amity Vineyards, we balance the acid by leaving a small amount of residual sugar in the wine, resulting in wonderful bouquets and balance, while finishing with a dry taste because of the natural high acid.
"If anyone in Oregon has a touch for Riesling, it is Myron Redford." - Harvey Steiman, San Francisco Chronicle
