Oregon Wine Press Cellar Select - August 2023 "Slightly shy scents of lilies and petrol. This wine opens into a fruit salad on the palate. Pineapple, grapes and ripe honeydew create a mouth-enveloping, silky texture with a petrol and citrus pith counterpoint." 
 
Besides fruit, you’ll often smell things like honeycomb, jasmine, or lime peel, along with a striking aroma that smells similar to petrol or petroleum wax (a natural compound called TDN). On the palate, Riesling has high acidity, similar to the levels in lemonade. - Wine Folly
 
Food pairing suggestions: We think Riesling pairs well with everything! But here are a few suggesitions...Sea bass, trout, smoked sausage, and spicy BBQ sauces. Pair with a dessert of apple pie.
