Nose
Scents of petrichor, lime blossom and candied fruit bounce from the glass; while tropical flavors of papaya, nectarine
and grapefruit compliment the minerality.
Palate
Not overly acidic and well balanced with a touch of sweetness, our semi-dry Riesling compliments a wide array of foods from spicy to rich to delicate.
Growing Conditions
Expressing the rich, rejuvenating soil of the Leelanau Peninsula, Bel Lago’s semi-dry Riesling truly tastes like the terroir of Northern Michigan.
Winemaking
By picking our Riesling toward the end of harvest, it allows the fruit to further ripen on the vine and develop a deeper flavor profile and mouth-feel.
Aging
Fermented and aged in stainless-steel tanks, our semi-dry Riesling’s fermentation was stopped before fully completing to retain some of its natural residual sugar.
