Badger Mountain Riesling 06 NSA
$8.05 - Case price (any 12 or more bottles) Price: $8.95 Quantity NSA = "No Sulfites added". From the winery: "Delicate floral notes woven through a framework of intense aromas of freshly cut nectarine, white peach, and ripe melon to make an enticing package. The flavors of nectarine, tangerine, cantaloupe, and apples are combined with a hint of honeyed sweetness. The delicate balance is impressive, with the fruit flavors lingering through the crisp, clean finish."

Detailed Info, Previous Vintage Notes, Reviews:

From the winery: "Estate fruit is always given high priority during harvest, and that is especially true of Riesling, as all of the production goes into the NSA Riesling. The 2004 vintage was somewhat difficult for Riesling, and we had to keep a close eye on harvest times to insure fruit with nice natural balance. Picking the grapes at night allowed the fruit to be delivered in optimum condition, and destemming, crushing, and pressing were accomplished quickly. Fermentation using R2 yeast took approximately 17 days, and was stopped by chilling to leave a residual sugar just over 2%. This year for the first time we have blended 5% organic Muscat Canelli from our Estate, and the floral effect on the aromas is great."
