Sokol Blosser White Riesling Dessert Wine 375 ml
Highly recommended by Avalon! Deep gold in color, this wine combines hazelnut, floral, vanilla and honey aromas and flavors. It was crafted in the ice wine style of Germany. Luscious and sweet, yet balanced by crisp acidity, it is clean and refreshing.
This special, ultra-rich dessert wine is produced from White Riesling grapes grown in our Estate vineyards. Crafted in the ice wine style of Germany, whole clusters of grapes are frozen immediately after harvesting and then pressed while still solid. The water in the grapes remains behind as ice and only the sweetest juice, which does not freeze, drips out and is collected. This juice is over twice as sweet as the juice from unfrozen grapes, and the yield is less than half. The pressing is followed by a very long, slow fermentation lasting, for this wine, about nine months. This painstaking process yields an incredibly intense, sweet, concentrated wine - a pure expression of the essence of White Riesling.
