The flagship Dry Riesling from Red Newt, our goal is to make a dry Riesling suitable for everyday drinking that also has the interest and complexity to reward aging. A dry riesling that is both savory and fruity, opulent and refreshing; everything we revere in dry Riesling from around the world. Intense and intriguing smoky notes on the nose evolve to grapefruit peel with time, both of which lead to a rich mid-palate that features exotic fruit while still being steely and dry through the finish. Long hang time for developing flavors in the berries was a given, but due to the cooler than average growing season this could be accomplished without sacrificing freshness.   RS 0.3%  TA 6.45g/L  pH 3.33  ALC 12.6% 93 points - James Suckling
